BECAUSE this is a forum about DMT and other entheogens we have to be very prudent about people who are clearly on the verge of psychosis or in the act of too much substance use/substance abuse.

When people make rambling posts about their experience with claims of extraordinary things AND when they think this is a fact instead of a possible side effect of the substance use we have to step in.

We have to remind these people to stay grounded and that it might be a good time to stay away from substances or from certain combinations. Maybe only lowering the amount of substance use might work but we have to be very careful here.

Looking at past experiences not only on this forum but also on other places we should never strengthen possible delusions! Acknowledging a delusion and encouraging it is one of the worst things we can do, it can help people get into a psychosis with an incredible long duration or worse.

So we have to take responsibility and should not encourage this road The Maxx is on. The Maxx should be given a place to talk more about his experience since it might be that over time the effect of the substance and it's journey will wane off and The Maxx will see that his OP is indeed just a weird rambling instead of a real 'prophecy'. Oh, and Eliyahu, please stop with your prophet ideas, we have been over this already and a smiley will not work to hide your intentions.

To the others who are mocking the OP:

This will not work either and with your mocking you might strengthen ones possible delusion! Also it is bad taste to mock people, here on the DMT-Nexus we promote respectful discussion and if you read the Attitude page you will read that what you are doing is against the rules and might even result in a temporarily suspension of your account!

To The Maxx:

I think it is in your best interest to stop using substances for some time, then after a while of no substance use you should read your OP again with a sober mind, then try to feel how other people would read such a post and what kind of impression it would make. If I'm honest; your OP reads like a warning sign about your mental health and it makes me very worried about you. So please, take into consideration what I have written down here.

Kind regards,

The Traveler
