Neat paper I stumbled across. Have not read more than abstract/introduction briefly.

Do you know of a version that's not in PDF form?

-eg

I found it on a search for some other related papers. Looks very recent, and it is not yet peer-reviewed I believe, and as I said, I haven't read it in depth yet, but figured I'd throw it up here for general interest.
Here is a link to the site I obtained it from, but no.. I don't have it in a non-pdf format, though I could possibly convert it?
Sorry if this is not helpful.

Very interesting paper. As it appears to me, the findings give the perceived benefits of 5-MeO administration something of a real scientific basis.

This - among a number of things - seems significant:


It would appear that they extrapolate their findings with 5-MeO-DMT across to the perceived benefits of ayahuasca which is not a valid thing to do, and right from the start they appear to conflate DMT and 5-MeO-DMT when really a clear distinction should be made. I suspect a decent peer review should clear that up.

I think the authors may actually be referring to dimethyltryptamines as a family of compounds, and stating that they are present in ayahuasca, virola snuff, and other entheogens used by Amerindian tribes. Was this the passage you were referring to?



My guess is that the line below is a typo and should read dimethyltriptamines:



I could be wrong, but I noticed other basic syntactical errors that could easily be a result of translation from Portuguese to English.
