There is a 'healthy' debate regarding last month's Scientific American article on the recent medical use of psychedelics. One of the comments may not include the latest facts but the guy sure has the 'religion'. Check out the thread here: Scientific American hallucinogens as medicine

Here is the spice related comment on the SciAm website:

The most powerful psychedelic drug known to man... is naturally in EVERYONE'S brain.
It's called DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine).
It's what cause you to dream at night.

It's totally illegal, but yet everyone use it every night, everyone take it for granted, you go to sleep and dream then you wake up and forget about the dreams, they don't know they go through a psychedelic trip while they sleep, you don't reflect very much why you actually dream, how comes your brain works in this strange ways while you sleep?
It's a psychedelic drug.

DMT is thousands and thousands of different plants everywhere, it's in thousands of different animals and also every human being.
It's produced in your brain by your pineal-gland.

You can call me a druggie now, you are one too.
I hope you understand the difference between drugs now.
The most powerful psychedelic drug known to man, you been under it's influence without knowing.

Dreaming is not bad, it's what keep everyone somewhat sane in this crazy world.

The experience from DMT most powerful experience you will ever go through. It will temporarily remove your ego and you will see everything in a way you can't understand until you experience it.

Read the book "the spirit molecule".
Do your own research about DMT.

If you are the lazy person listen to Joe Morgan, he explains it in a ordinary guy way easy for you.

heh, rantings of a misguided idealist.
dreams represent surreality, not reality.

Joe Morgan was was a baseball player for the Houston Colt .45s

haha. The way this is written (see bad grammar) and "Joe Morgan" make me think this is satire. But then again it seems a rather small audience that would see it that way. Who knows?

*sigh*
More eloquent posters speaking up on this, rather than rantings such as the above, are needed. I don't think unscientific mumbling without grammar will help the cause.
But then, I wouldn't really know what to say either. Plus a lot of the comments were actually pro-psychedelics and worded well. Interesting. I mean there were only 2 posts that were kind of against it, one of them clearly just provocative and angry and the other with a point that a lot of people seem to share, but kind of misses the point of using psychedelics. he says: "drugs are a cheap way to have a spiritual experience". Well having a valuable experience and having a spiritual one are IMO two different things... Anyway maybe someone should post something there as well. Unfortunately I can't read the whole article...

well, thanks for this in any case.

sister thought there were a number of very intelligent posts following the article, it made her proud

the article is so short I don't know what to say about it.
