But Joe Rogan isn't waking anyone up
People that aren't interested in psychedelic see him as a moron not some highly educated person trying to inform them
just some dumb jock trying to prove he is right by talking louder
not a good thing for psychedelics in any way
the only people that think Joe is some kind of DMT messiah are people that already use psychedelics
he contributes nothing positive in how people view psychedelics
Just the though of that dumb jock speaking out for psychedelics makes me

I thought DMT's natural presence in the human body was already proven? The real question regards whether it is an integral part of mental functioning, or simply a bi-product in the synthesis of chemicals with actual utility.
I wake up everyone I can with DMT. I believe the general population should be utterly saturated with exogenous DMT.
However, I believe this should occur organically, socially, rather than through an artificially massive demand created by media exposure, which will itself inevitably lead to enormous difficulties in making and distributing DMT in the first place.

The moment the masses become truly interested in DMT is the moment they make Mimosa hostilis a controlled substance and they cull all the Phalaris arundinacea from my immediate living area.
Let the masses have their mushrooms and LSD. Let DMT remain a secret to all but the truly Interested.
Yeah I'm totally not down with that fuckheaded elitist attitude, WTF makes you think that you are more "worthy" of this drug than anybody else?

That's very true. I don't think it's something there will ever be a huge demand for though. Most people like to get drunk, not vape DMT crystals

I got into DMT because I was fascinated by the psychedelia of marijuana and then researched other psychedelic drugs - namely the more-exposed LSD and mushrooms, my experimentation with which eventually led me to DMT and its incredibly easy extraction from totally legal ingredients and its incredible power and utility as a master psychedelic.
If Everyjoe Fucktard realizes this, and attempts to use DMT as a cheap and easy chemical of escape, then the media will catch on and create a moral panic, and approximately 90% (a very reserved estimate) of lawmakers will make a huge deal out of their opposition to chemical escapes in order to get votes, and the next year will be spent crushing every source and source-material for DMT available to the mad-consumerist American culture.
I know I might sound like an "elitist" to anybody who doesn't bother to think these fucking things through, but I assure you I speak from a completely pragmatic and completely sensible position. That is, of course, unless you don't like DMT, in which case you are in no fucking place to call me a "fuckheaded elitist."

You don't know that for sure, people are becoming more open minded about shit lately. That Sarah Palin recently expressed her somewhat liberal views regarding weed is evidence of this IMO, conervatives are changing their stances on the legislation of their pigheaded 'family values'.

I'm not calling you a fuckheaded elitist, did I say "You are a fuckheaded elitist."? No, I did not. I'm saying that the "all for me because I'm worthy, none for you because you suck" attitude is nothing but bullshit. I've never done DMT yet, but I sure as hell want to--I've been around people who've done the stuff, it doesn't make you extra-special or any crap like that, it's just a (very powerful) psychedelic.

it's just as arrogant to think you are the truth as it is to say you know the truth. if you think you are the truth, it will exude itself in your character and people will just "see" pretentiousness.

I don't think I'm special because I've smoked DMT. I just think I have a greater than average interest in psychedelics. And I don't think DMT, in its raw form, has any type of direct usefulness or application for anybody who isn't either a) already interested in psychedelics or b) a shaman.
Any dedicated pursuit of widespread publication of DMT, its availability, and its power, would seriously hinder its availability to those two groups.

how did you develop a greater than average interest? you had to, at one point, been someone who had a lower than average interest. you must have had that one experience that guided your interest.
what's to say the widespread masses shouldn't have that chance? possibly it's not useful to them and most will reject it but even if 1 out of every 100 "lower than average psych" user becomes a "higher than average" one, don't you think it's worth it if that person is possibly in a position to use the information to benefit the movement.
people forget psych users are a huge minority, but we are not joined together in our cause to be freed by paranoia and fear of persecution. everyone deserves a chance to see what DMT or other spiritual spychs are about whether or not they have a low chance of gaining anything from it.
just my opinion.

Yeah we definitely don't want it turn into a pandemic. or like a salvia situation. On one hand I agree completely with your point of view but on the other I think if we're going to ever make any progress in this damn society we need to adopt an embrace the education of these sacred substances instead of trying to 'hide' them from the public eye. Many people believe a lot of fucked up shit about drugs that has no basis in reality. I think technically speaking, it should be the job of the educated to teach the ignorant masses no? Not that Joe is a spokesman or superior resource for it or anything, he's just a dude with some crazy experiences that he's willing to share. I don't think everyjoe fucktard is willing to go through the effort of trying to source DMT. They will find out about them anyway. Ayahuasca is already relatively well known in the media but do you see suburban kids going crazy for it? It's not necessarily a bad thing to try to turn the sheep into thinkers or at least set them on a path of exploration leading to other discoveries. It's one of those double-edged swords

So only people who have just as much interest as you do are justified in using it, IYO?

I personally believe nirvana/enlightenment are possible and when you achieve it you are the truth. People like buddha/christ...Christ said something like, "I am the way" he is the truth because "he" no longer "is". i think buddhism/spirituality is true. you cant prove it. its just something you experience and your like, "oh, this must be true"

lol i dont think im the truth. im far from it. i was solely talking about people like Buddha who have devoted their entire existence to achieving nirvana for all beings. i might go get drunk tonight not there yet.

I don't think DMT should be kept a "closely-guarded secret," or anything like that. Obviously that is impossible, being that anybody who knows to search for the right things can discover the "secret" to its very simple extraction in a matter of minutes.
I do think DMT should be better known, but I don't think Rogan is a suitable agent. He has his merits as a comedian and an entertainer but IMO he's doing a terrible job as a tryptamine evangelist, regurgitating Strassman's speculation and McKenna's storytelling along with a gutload of alcohol and needless bombast. He's what Timothy Leary would be minus the education and plus a frat-boy mentality.
