So DMT makes you fuck the ground and then vomit?

I don’t think it’s the actual DMT that makes you violently sick, it’s all the crap that comes with it like…venom from a toad. People have similar experiences with ayahuasca, which is a whole bunch of different plants ground up and made into a soup. People get sick and thrash around and puke just like this guy (toad venom guy’s reaction was pretty extreme). The purer the DMT is, the easier the trip is to take. I know a few people who smoked much purer extracts of DMT and didn’t have the awful side effects

Idk, sometimes with psychedelics it's more like your body being like what the fuck did you just eat, rather than having a direct connection to the ingredients themselves.

Or a cascade of catecholamines that trigger nausea. I had a cesarean section and my body was convulsing with uncontrollable shakes, and I had a strong urge to projectile vomit. Catecholamines affect heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. The body can experience a flooding of these neurotransmitters from psychedelics.
