Well it does contain a psychedelic drug, just not one that we've identified yet.

Have you considered that the tiny people are real /s

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 13 hours ago

It doesn’t need to be, there is reasonable proof that humans and other mammals naturally synthesises (trace amounts off) dmt, which are presumed to be used and broken down incredibly quickly. We still don’t know why, what its used for or have hard proof where its produced (pineal gland is main suspect for having all ingredients in theory)

In theory something could trigger an effect that stops it from breaking down or produce it at a faster rate, therefore triggering psychedelics effects with out the consumed substance containing anything psychedelic itself.

Dmt is known for seeing (machine) elves, does not sound that far away from seeing mini people.

You don't know that. Maybe it just disables the tiny people filter we normally have.

An anti-memetic counter agent.
