Have you ever tried DMT?
I hate that Joe Rogan and Silicon Valley techbros ruined the reputation of DMT which really is profound.
This fucking bald imbecile indeed ruined like half the niche psych online communities due to his inane ramblings; he's also spread falsehoods far and wide (like "DMT is produced by the human body in potentially psychoactive quantities" - it's fucking not, it's produced in minutes amounts likely as a neurotransmitter production's side effect; or also "DMT is released when we die" - also complete bullshit)
And as for the experience, it really is profound. I like to link this article and this follow-up, both by Nick Sand, for newcomers
Has he ruined any communities? The ones I frequent rarely mention him except to make fun of him
I feel like McKenna has a more negative effect only because people try to cite his theories as if it were done under rigorous scientific methods
I'm probably exaggerating a bit, but it has led to an influx of very vocal new members sometimes fairly deaf to discussion to many of them
imo DMT is the worst psychedelic. 15 minutes that i barely remember? id much rather have a nice saturday LSD trip and have a full day of good vibes (most of the time)
DMT can be taken orally as well with a MAOI, mind you
Also if vaporizing it, the method and repeatability are paramount (and can take a while to pin down); once you have a proper method and dosage you can consistently stay above the threshold but below the memory-wipe level
