Local news article demonizing DMT with misinformation

[jdf121]

I found this disturbing news article from my area that employs fear mongering and straight up lies. It disturbed me, especially being near me that this is the information people are getting. DMT doesn't cause murder...

What do you guys think about this atrocity?

Usually reading the comments on news stories makes me lose faith in humanity. The ones on dmt stories however are usually pretty good, and there are some good comments on this one.

The article is ridiculous though.

 

[redeyes drag on]

Although it is terrible they can just lie to the public about this, it's not really a surprise. This is done with nearly all drugs, making false claims of effects and exaggerating the dangers, yet they are allowed to advertise alcohol and declare it as a beverage instead of a drug :?:

this is hilarious,the psychadelic dmt can cause users shortness of breath even die :lol: actually i thought i died a couple times. but seriously how many ppl have died from dmt, um 0, .the highs 35-40 min yeh right.. It is sad there talking about it likes its pcp or something, get someone that actually knows something about it to talk, not this dumb dea shithead. God this world is messed up

bwahaha "psychedelic dmt"
i love how they wait till the bottom to actually say that they haven't found any traces in the person's blood yet

 

[lewinii]

oh my. what a bunch of bullshit

 

[jdf121]

Im worried that police in my area will start a dmt witchhunt after this.. i hope not

Fortunately all the commenters in that article were the smart ones. Unfortunately, the people who are completely sucked into their TV and devoid of open-mindedness will be fooled. It's really a bummer.

You know I was gonna post this exact quote... I guess like minds think alike eh?

 

[tango]

Even ignoring the content, the article seems written by a high school drop out.

This cop actually seems to know a lot about DMT. Except that it renders you basically unconscious and only lasts 10 minutes.

 

[universalshaman]

Terence Mckenna is a serial killer

 

[Psylence]

The u.s. is waking up to how harmless and useful cannabis is, I would be confident saying that dmt is even safer.

Some kid in my area beat his dad to death with a baseball bat a couple weeks ago.
The news seized on the kids' use of K2 and "spice". His accomplice was shown at the arrangement freaking out crying over and over that he wasn't guilty.
While I'm not familiar with those two items , I have seen them in local stores.
You can bet his defense will claim he wasn't responsible because of the evil drugs.
The media was all over the availablity of these "dangerous" drugs and ran show after show w/local politicians demonizing them. Without much effort it is easy to find that these politicos have big campaign backing by area alcohol and tobacco companies.
Alcohol is THE most dangerous drug and is responsible for many more murders and other crimes than any bag of headshop crap.

I lol'd:x

What is completely wrong is that at the bottom of the report, no DMT was found to be in the accused's system, so basically this is just an excuse to make an anti dmt video when in fact nothing is proven.
Sounds like the usual reporters tricks. I wonder if alcohol or violent video games were also found to be in his posession???

bwahaha "psychedelic dmt"
i love how they wait till the bottom to actually say that they haven't found any traces in the person's blood yet

Also the part i thought to be funniest "Memphis Police have not confirmed if Psychedelic DMT was in Walsh’s system."

O wow!! I can't believe this "news" story.

“Y'all shouldn't take anything you wont be able to control,”
-Brian Chambers

Still Photo of Brian chambers>>>>>>:twisted:

also this:
The crystal that’s crushed and then, snorted, smoked or shot up, can cause users to become short of breath, pass out, even die.

DIE?? PASS OUT?? are they talking about DMT or gold paint??
Snorted??? I know several of us have tried this out of curiosity but it's really not the way to go unless you enjoy extreme nasal/facial pain during your experience

and hey you gotta love this advice:
Chambers suggests if you know someone using the drug, to get help and call law enforcement right away, ”They can come and defuse the situation, especially a hallucinogen because they’re very paranoid, very nervous and agitated.”

I like how he uses the word "defuse"
Like we DMT smokers are just ticking time bombs of nervous, paranoid fury ready to explode.....

I think back to videos Iv'e seen of 80 year old men from Peru who claim to have taken Ayahuasca once every week for 50 years or more.....

I wonder how many people these Medicine Men have brutally slaughtered over such a great length of time??

o my the list of blatant stupidity just goes on and on....
“They start hearing things, they get paranoid, they start seeing things that aren’t there.” expressed Chambers.

-I hope Mr. Chambers lives a long life and I wish him no harm BUT..
HE had better get down on his knees and pray to his blue eyed republican deity that what I have seen on DMT isn't really there...

Because if what I have seen on DMT is there...

Then Mr. Chambers is going to be in for a shock one day

ultimately no one escapes the truths that await us all in the after life.

OTHER "PSYCHEDELIC DMT" -fun facts...
DID YOU KNOW???

DMT is ILLEGAL and very hard to find on the street.....but you can get it on the internet.
this message has been brought to you by...the "minister of information" , Mr. Chamers;.

BTW-
great job on the news story comments everyone!!!
I don't really like however that the news site seems to keep track of everyones info and even shows a lot of peoples real names next to their comments


OH WAIT---it must be the PARANOIA I am experiencing from my 45 minute DMT trip

You too?

I gave up on seriously caring about these type of stories a long time ago, no matter whether its related to cannabis, dmt, or any drug, its all either riddled with nothing but lies and fear mongering, or by some pro group only giving the idealized THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT THING EVER type extreme.

Which is why I like things here, sound, reasonable advice recognizing the positives and negatives, now if we could just somehow take over every news station and install only Nexus members.....
