On DMT - The Importance Of DMT
A brief 30-second audio fragment of Terence McKenna making the case for systematic DMT research. He advocates for more people to explore the molecule so that comparative data can be gathered and fundamental questions answered about how and why such experiences are possible. The fragment touches on his perennial concern that such a powerful tool for consciousness exploration has remained largely hidden from scientific scrutiny.
