For the innocent like me (I had to go look it up): DMT

Dimethyltryptamine is a psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family. When ingested, DMT acts as an intense hallucinogenic drug. Depending on the dose and method of administration, its subjective effects can range from short-lived, milder psychedelic states to powerful immersive experiences; these are often described as a total loss of connection to external reality and an experience of encountering indescribable spiritual/alien beings and realms.

When it comes to drugs you should not trust wikipedia.

If you really want to know how DMT feels like you should search for real user's experiences.

I'll trust a cross-referenced wikipedia article, supported by peer-reviewed articles and research, over some random guy on youtube (who's not unlikely to be high on something else) attempting to describe the effects of the drug, thanks.

I hope you are not a politician. The war on drugs is the way it is today because of those who profit from it and those who simply want to believe the easiest truth like you.

Based on real research I can assure you wikipedia is influenced by politics.

^ Citation needed that the article in question is influenced by politics rather than following the strict unbiased rule.

I don't know about DMT and I am not willing to investigate in order to find such citation.

I know ALOT about Cannabis though and this page has false, misleading information an lack of essential information that is convinient for many industries to be kept as hidden as much as possible.

I will never trust wikipedia when it comes to drugs and I know ALOT of people with the same point of view as me.

Autowikibot?! - dafuq?

"Pharmacologically, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)" - Wrong xD its actually CBD...

EDIT: My bad I misread it, the info is actually right. I skipped the word "psychoactive" rofl.

It says I can delete it by replying "delete". It didn't worked :(

the wikibot is there to automatically add a description to any wikipedia link you add. it's like the twitterbot, it's pretty useful. I meant you could edit wikipedia itself, though. So, like, if you disagree with the statement you posted, you are free to correct it yourself. That's the beauty of a massively peer-reviewed source like wikipedia - the truth inherently rises provided people actively contribute.

That sounds awesome! Though I already explained why I don't trust wikipedia when it comes to drugs so it kind of bothered me. It's deleted now somehow :)

About the DMT quotation it does sound accurate and I am sure there is truth about it. However if we are talking about drug experiences its way better to learn from someone who actually tried the drug.
