Agreed! I've seen at least three news stories, including a scare-mongering Google-translated one from Arabic, which wrongly reported that DMT is injected. Nobody injects DMT except for participants of Dr. Rick Strassman's early 1990s studies.

When the media writes about it as being an 'injectable,' it naturally plays-up to readers' squeamishness about needles, and what comes to the reader's mind is a sinister image of a heroin addict with tracks in his veins, slumped over next to a dumpster. That's the portrait that gets painted when media misreport about DMT being an injectable. For this reason I'm incensed whenever I read articles portraying DMT as injectable. It feels like a conspiracy to keep people afraid of a tool that, with a single good breath, safely draws back the veil shrouding the mystery of death in 30 seconds flat.

To paraphrase Tim Leary: "DMT is an endogenous molecule which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have not taken it."

I really enjoyed reading your poem and essay.

The media sensationalizes every story they can. Subjectively, dmt and ayahuasca don't cause me to want to drop out of society like what happened in the 1960s. It does cause me to want to live responsibly, not be lazy, get along with others, do what I say I'm going to do, etc. It's taught me patience and moderation and fixed my anxiety. I know I'm not alone. My mimosa tenuiflora even cured a seriously sever burn once.

In a world in which many people had these experiences, it would be good news for the goverment, as more people would become much more responsible, leading to lower social costs and a drop in the amount it costs for the goverment to function.

Certain corporations however, would fair much worse. eg. Media companies. The people profiting off of our
Un-healthiness would begin to see reduced profits as well.

Corperations such as health food stores, bookstores and perhaps cruise companies would see increased profits as people become healthier, more interested in obtaining knowledge and begin to explore the planet.

Just imagine a free market system in which most consumers have had a breakthrough experience on one of the entheogens.

I'm 20 and can't watch people watch anymore, nice description (I was brought up in a sheltered heavily religious home, still there to this day as i write this), i always end up around 12am watching news services and wanting to snap my neck because of it, I got into a visual prod community earlier in life and it kind of echo's the domino effect of how to give less but more of less and how it works to the benefit of the provider, more to provide, more money to grab, more blah blah, and it gets my head so twisted sometimes i can't eat or act like i should be.

There's something in dmt that instantly clicks, from my first moment of consumption i had many flash backs, but felt refreshed, more confident soely because i wasn't thinking about confidence, i don't believe i fully broke through but my ego took a good beating. I think that's what all these reporters that are either being tricked into these events to bias the report & record it for worldwide viewing, become labelled as "knowledge" or just fooled with a cookie trail but without cookies it's money.

It does my head in to say the least

Well-said! Coincidentally today I spent the afternoon at a major urban shopping mall in New Zealand. It was one of the only times I've been inside one since experiencing Ayahuasca over two years ago. The experience of being around thousands of overweight Kiwi consumers carrying Hollister sacks and McDonalds food, a consumer-fetish culture imported to them from America, really dragged my energy down. Remember Pixar's WALL-E? This mall was like being trapped on board the space station with the obese humans shopping at Buy-N-Large. I reflected back to an earlier time in my own life when buying things in shopping malls gave me some false sense of purpose or temporary happiness because that's the 'aspirational living' that was handed down to me by my religious Mid-Western parents and the media culture. Nowadays I see people buying things they don't need, eating food that was scientifically formulated and taste-tested to promote over-eating, and it makes me feel like an alien on this planet.

As a side note, I saw Interstellar for the second time (that's why I went to the mall). If you haven't seen it yet, it's certainly worth a look. I'm quite certain that the director, Christopher Nolan, and some members of the animation crew, experienced DMT. You'll see.
