This discussion is about DMT as a treatment for PTSD. As someone who's dealt with PTSD for decades, I believe that rocket ship is not only unnecessary, but potentially harmful. Not to mention expensive. It's wrong to make survivors who are desperate for help think they need to travel out of the country and gamble on something that has as much chance of screwing up their brain chemistry worse as it does of helping. It's just as wrong as doctors prescribing pharmaceuticals as the only treatment.
People need to be empowered with information to understand how to help themselves. Research PTSD in relation to the gut/brain axis, orthomolecular psychiatry, EMDR, and meditation.
I thought the thread was about MDMA. You made a tangential comment about ayahuasca that I responded to.
Thread about an article on ecstasy for ptsd, then someone mentioned ayahuasca, that's what I responded to
Sure and your knee jerk response had no good information about ayahuasca and PTSD. "Demons, mang."

Ironic that your own response is so triggered by my use of the word "demons" that you feel the need to ignore everything else I said. It's wrong to convince those suffering with ptsd symptoms that they have to travel out of the country for good help. Period. I'm not going to keep arguing that fact. Have a good day.
