All I am doing is collecting trip reports. There is still no evidence to support that 5meodmt and harmalas will harm any one. I do feel you lean more Towards the alarmist endless.
The article will be posted in esoteric Pharma and will be based on the results of the survey. I suspect people have been taking 5meodmt with harmalas for a long time.
I'm looking for peoples previous TRs not encouraging new ones. If you have done it let us know.
Collecting trip reports is fine, but are trip reports necessarily the best source of unbiased information, and does it have any validity statistics-wise (considering your plan is analysing if statistics-wise 5-meo-dmt is safe to take orally) ? Maybe problematic trips are less likely to end up being reported in the typical forum/erowid databases? (I dont know, just putting questions out there to think about). Hence why I suggest not only looking for trip reports but also doing a scientific-publications review. (and no I never took 5-meo orally, only epena snuff and smoked 5-meo)
You didnt respond to my other comments, are you considering (or did you already) to search pubmed/google scholar/etc for 5-meo-dmt intoxication/hospitalization/deaths ?
What about pming to Picatris who was also posting in that thread re: 5-meo oral usage, in which he also expressed his concerns ?
When you talked with ott, did the conversation include asking about potential different metabolizers of 5-meo-dmt, that death case and the other reported complication cases?
As for you saying I am alarmist, im sorry I come across as so. I honestly am trying to be reasonable and establish safety guidelines and reliable information through this forum, and this includes questioning the potential problems that certain combinations may lead to, even if the questioning leads to the answers that there is no problem in the end.
I believe in science and truth, and I know it comes out eventually, so I dont think its a bad thing to question and ask for more information if its still unknown, its not like im saying some misinformation or affirming with certainty dangers that I dont know about, is it? The questioning wont affect the effects and dangers, but it can (hopefully) lead to critical thinking, more testing and more generation of knowledge. Please dont feel attacked with my questioning, its nothing personal to you, its just the way I work in life, but I welcome any constructive criticism.
