  I don't know anything about the validity of the facts and would have preferred a third-party or peer reviewed source. But surely someone's opinion about the consumption of psychedelics, and the credibility of their research as a scientist are quite separate things.

  The support of DMT consumption is hardly the most troublesome part of that TED talk, although it might be the political reason TED banned it (it's a TEDx conference, by the way). In that talk, he also discusses in detail the immortality of the human soul, telepathic communication with personal benevolent deities, and mystic healing. While he does hurriedly hedge these claims with the sentence "I'm making no claim one way or another as to the reality state of these entities," the entire talk is very clearly extrascientific, and in my opinion pseudoscientific.
