Local news article demonizing DMT with misinformation

[Ringworm]

Misinformation like this is why my parents hated me as a kid.
They believed what was fed to them. I was obviously going to be a cult leader and murder innocents by the thousands because of weekly lsd trips.

Even now decades later, my one kid has a food allergy and the other has very minor dyslexia... I've been told by my parents that this is obviously caused by "chromosome damage"


On another note, I know some local drug cops in rural nowhere. They recently mentioned getting trained in how to identify a new high called "spice"
Apparently it is everywhere and becoming a major problem. Just word to the herd.

Like I have already stated....

.....RESISTANCE TO THE DMT ALIENS IS FUTILE....
......THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE TELEVISION.......
.......THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE MUSIC.........
........THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE INTERNET......

..........THEY WILL TAKE OVER COMPLETELY.........

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
THEY WILL ALL BE ASSIMILATED

Most of the time when these small town cops are talking about "spice" they mean the K2 type herbs sold at head shops and smoke shops. At least in my experience this has been. And I've been involved in making my own herb spice since about a year ago, got arrested this last summer for cannabis, but the cops also seized several lbs of damiana, organic catnip, marsmallow leaf, and a couple of other herbs I had. In the police report it stated I was probably attempting to produce smoking "spices" to sell in addition to marijuana. That got dropped by the DA however fortunately.

(Memphis) A friend of a man accused of stabbing his mother to death reports the alleged stabber, may have been on a hallucinogenic, called, ‘Psychedelic DMT’.
Twenty-two year-old William Walsh remains in jail, charged with stabbing his mother to death at their home over the weekend. DMT is a very expensive illegal drug, hard to find on the streets.

I don't know if you guys and gals have seen this yet...

The crystal that’s crushed and then, snorted, smoked or shot up, can cause users to become short of breath, pass out, even die.
Right now, the Memphis DEA is not seeing much of it in the area, but Chambers says it’s mostly used by college students, ordering it from shady internet sites.

yeah. absolutely ridiculous. I'm so glad the comments are all people calling whoever wrote this on her shit. She clearly did no research beyond talking to local law enforcement, who quite obviously has no idea what DMT actually is or does. And at the end of the article it says that they don't even know if the guy was using DMT.

It's just really unfortunate that journalists don't research what their writing on. Reminds me of when this was floating around on the internet:

http://www.ocala.com/article/20111221/ARTICLES/111229923

OCALA – Hours after he was booked into the Marion County Jail following his arrest on possession of precursor chemicals to manufacture DMT and resisting arrest without violence, Dallas Keen made his first appearance in front of a judge Thursday morning.

DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine, is known as Ecstasy, a hallucinogen.

This is typical, and not surprising.

I think the important thing that nobody has mentioned is that Elsie is pretty cute.
what a pity.
news in general now suffers from standards that consistently slide lower and lower, fact checking used to actually happen, research happened and the source "a friend of the man" would have to be identified unless there was good reason not to. oh well.
