Thanks for posting, always interesting to see new papers, but the tone of this one leaves me a little bit cold, essentially: "We searched the internet, and eventually found a few incautious people who died..."

For this reason information from Internet, together with results of analysis of substances seized from law enforcement agencies and reports of cases of death related to intake of these substances, organized in the way we proposed in this review, provides an effective tool for specialists facing this emerging threat to public health and public security, not only forensic scientists but also the personnel working in Emergency Departments.

I was actually really glad they included those fatal case-studies. I wasn't aware that combining 5-MeO-DMT with an MAOI was dangerous, but now I do

Also, if you read through the fatalities, most of them seem like textbook cases of irresponsible drug use (especially the guy who snorted 10+x the normal dose of 5-MeO-DALT).

The language used in the paper came across as biased and/or sensational, and at least some of the research was not much more than webscraping... quite likely from here and Erowid :thumb_dow

Incautious = irresponsible

I thought the hazards of combining significant doses with MAOI were fairly well known, as they're widely published and already in the Wiki, including the same fatality reference (2005).

LE will take a paper like this and use it to concoct all kinds of BS, as the need arises...
