remain a tool for those already well acquainted with "weaker" entheogens such as shrooms and when I read the comments on shayanashop for instance ("Duuuude! that was hilarious, I fucking tripped balls loool" ) I feel horrified as to what a mainstream (mis-)use of dmt could lead to.
Salvia and DMT can’t be compared in this way:
Salvia was, and still is, legal in many places. Stupid YouTube videos lead clueless legislators and a public frightened by irresponsible media to question its legality and ultimately make it illegal.
DMT has been illegal for a very long time. Legislators can’t make it more illegal than it already is. The users of DMT interviewed in “The Spirit Molecule” were mainly Strassman volunteers and legal Ayahuasca users (using it in Peru, etc.), and they all seem to be mature responsible adults.
Although I wish Mitch Schultz great success, I doubt that “The Spirit Molecule” will become popular in the mainstream.
Right but MHRB might become illegal. I do not question the professionalism of strassman (i've read and enjoyed his book) or mitch schultz, I just fear this movie might lead to more extractions and misuses by teenagers seeking for new ways to "get wasted"... But well I hope i'm wrong.
