I look at the description of the experience of DMT by philosopher Terence McKenna.
Probably the most open minded, informative talk on different substances which grow naturally in nature and how there connection with humans have shaped many people's ways of thinking.
Terence McKenna talks about his personal process for using psilocybin mushrooms, attempts to describe some of the experiences he has had while on psychedelics, and what to do if you're experiencing a "bad trip" - he suggests singing.
The true purpose of psychedelics is to share with the world fresh ideas. Throughout this short talk, Terence McKenna talks about all of the phenomena that you may encounter or experience when utilizing psychedelics.
Cited by the L.A. Weekly as "the culture's foremost spokesman for the psychedelic experience," Terrence McKenna is an underground legend as a brilliant raconteur, adventurer, and expert on the experiential use of mind-altering plants.
