ok really? three dmt articles in one day in my gmail alert ...

Migrated topic.
I am excited that DMT is becoming more wide spread
and trying not to be afraid of the implications it may have.

There is a lot of negativity associated with it in the media as we can see right here.
We must try to counter balance this, if that is at all possible.
 
I wouldn"t worry about it too much. Punk rock used to be public enemy no.1 in the British mainstream media. Now it is an English institution. The cream always rises to the top.

This is a very good point.

You could also frame it as:

capitalist consumer culture integrated what had been a rebellious, antagonistic, political subculture into another commodified subcultural market niche.

Oh man, please let's not get started ( don't get me going...)
Why did Kurt blow his head off exactly? Maybe being seen as the guy who sold punk rock had something to do with it.

Hmmm, I don't knowwhere to go with that analogy really, but yeah, I'm with you there Δ, we gotta be the voice of reason here.
 
I'm actually pretty impressed that one of them called DMT a "psychedelic compound", rather than "hallucinogenic drug".

This is true. My point is that something that has positive qualities will stand the test of time. The moment that you release a record, you are part of consumer culture and by being integrated into mainstream culture you are helping to influence it. Which i do not see as a bad thing.
