Ketamine is a psychedelic medicine that is most associated with descriptions of a near death experience (psychedelicmentalhealth.net)

Isnt DMT literaly the drug released in the brain during a near death experience? Seems odd that Ketamine is closer 🤷

Yeahhhh I was gonna say this definitely seems off. I have plenty of experience with LSD/psilocybin/DMT/mescaline and to put DMT below the others, especially shrooms, tells me that they have no idea what they're talking about. I think salvia is definitely in the right spot though, and although I've never tried it, 5-meo-dmt is supposed to be even more intense than DMT so it should be much much higher.

Also, the active ingredients in Ayahuasca are DMT and 5-meo-dmt, but you take a maoi to make them last much longer. Putting Ayahuasca that far below DMT is kind of ridiculous.

Also also, 5-aco-dmt is a prodrug for psilocybin. Your body turns it into it. They are technically the same thing, so why the huge disparity there?

Also also also (I just noticed peyote cactus, Peruvian torch cactus, and mescaline are all separate entries), the active ingredient in peyote and Peruvian torch is mescaline. They are one and the same. Wtf lol....
