I had the pleasure of experiencing DMT over 20 years ago and only recently had learned that what I experienced was not unique: https://non-aliencreatures.fandom.com/wiki/Machine_Elf https://non-aliencreatures.fandom.com/wiki/Machine_Elf (mine looked like an animated Persian carpet). It was the only time in my life where the hallucination took over full visual (and auditory) input; I could see nothing but that. While it was really intense, I didn't take away any lessons from it as I have from LSD and psilocybin. I think it's too strong to be a proper teacher and is just more of a thrill ride. I recognize that we all have different responses but I'm betting that I'm not alone in this assessment.

Again, a lot of what passes for "DMT" on the street is actually N,N-dimethyltryptamine, which (while also a very powerful psychedelic) is NOT the same as 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (aka 5-MeO-DMT), which is the subject of the Forbes article. It would be prudent to find out which "DMT" you're getting, and educate yourself on the difference. You really don't want to confuse the two.
