I agree with just about everything you said acolon. However, as I sort of already mentioned, I think the only reason we're seeing these numbers as ridiculously low is because of SWIY and SWIMS experiences. We know people who have taken higher doses and lived, so of course we know he is wrong. But for someone who is a complete stranger to DMT, it doesn't really surprise me that his thinking produced such low numbers. I wish I could say that I wrote this paper to help educate people with accurate LD50s, but I really did this because I knew it would be an easy paper for me to write- Even the author of the article says that his estimates are almost meaningless given the amount of real research that's been done with high doses of DMT.
