Hello,  I am in the medical field and came across this site after discovering DMT from a medical perspective. I have never tried it and doubtfully will.  However, my interest is peaked both as a professional, and one who has experienced DMT like chemicals in my youth and have had an NDE and OBE.  I am contemplating the implications of the experienced as related by others and how it may fit into my own life experiences.  I will start with the chemical experiences.  Now that I know the chemical structures of some chemicals it experienced many years ago are much like natural substances in the body it opens up a can of worms for me.  Then, to have survived a 130mph head on collision with a true obe, I can tell you, it was nothing alike.  The obe was not, and I repeat for the sceptic, was not a hallucination.  I know the difference.  I had my accident in 1996 and until about a month ago I have wondered if the civil war era graveyard I wandered into was real.  By a coincidental convergence of Google Earth, 2 civil war buffs I work with and my own curiosity finally getting to me, I looked into the matter.  Not only did I discover that the graveyard I saw in the woods due to the all permeating light was really there, but the marker I saw dated 1852 was also there.  It was so profound, I can't imagine anyone denying it.  But it was nothing like a cylicibin trip - no colors or warped perceptions (except for the fact that even though the night was as black as this screen I only saw all permeating light. I do wonder if the DMT experience is different than that produced by other similarly structured compounds.  Can anyone tell me?  Don't need to experience it for myself.  Of note, I work with psychotic inmates and know that hallucinations are not real, obe's are, conversely.
