I came across this article posted today about "psychedelic crack" which is supposedly what we DMT junkies call it.
At times I thought it had to be satire but sadly I don't think it is supposed to be.

It claims DMT is dangerous because people have vaporized it wrong and "burned" their lungs.
Looks to me like someone ignorant to the subject did some internet searching for 5 minutes and saw something about the smoke sometimes being harsh and tried to spice it up as much as possible.

I do have to give it credit for saying that it is not addictive. That's about all though.

I don't think this will really have a large negative impact on DMT honestly. Articles like this are worded in such silly ways that I think most people can tell they are just trying to induce fear to get people to go to their website. Some may blindly accept it but I think most won't.
It's 2015 now. The truth about the beneficial effects and relative safety of psychedelics is becoming more widely known. Articles like this might even help bring people together to dismiss these sort of claims more then they cause people to believe them.
What do you think?
Digital druggies turn electronic cigarettes into psychedelic crack pipes

Edit: Another nexus member made a post right as I did of an article that is nearly the same here
Looks like this might have been the original and the one that I posted took it and made it as ridiculous as possible.

Right? I looked more into who they are and apparently they've been around since 1903 but have a bad reputation for making stories up.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here. The media will hype and exaggerate anything for a bump in ratings or more web traffic.

Ah the good old media, always concentrating on the important stuff. Take this article for example. It talks about how they seized 18kg of a "rare party drug", yup that's what DMT is apparently. It was seized at the border and was a red/brown powder(MHRB powder I'm presuming). I also remember reading this same article somewhere else and they were saying how they found it in nail polish bottles, but that was a lie as it was actually GHB that was found in nail polish bottles a few weeks beforehand. It's these media scare tactics that made psychedelics illegal in the first place. Makes me angryMad
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
– Terence McKenna

Here is a breakdown of various British daily newspapers for all of the foreigners that frequent the forum. Unfortunately they don"t list the Sunday Sport, which is at the apex of British journalistic literature. How can anyone resist the headline "Dwarf eats own weight in sprouts at the darts" ????
