      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.

        Maybe the DMT causes our dreams? Anybody who has tripped knows that dreams are just another hallucinatory experience. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we found out they were caused by our own bodies creating an hallucinogen.

        After all, it wasn’t that long ago that we discovered Endorphins, which are addictive drugs in their own right.

          The reason we suspect the pineal gland is cause it has all the ingredients…

          Which it also needs to produce the sleep molecule melatonin. Which is a triptomine.

          The theory is that it shifts over to producing a large amount of dmt twice, at birth, and at death. (If i recall correctly)

        well i’ve said for years that my brain produces its own mind-altering substances, in larger amounts than other people produce it, and it does have an effect on me. i’ve always kinda seen the world very differently from other people … yeah i do think that my mind actually produces its own … how are they called? psychedelics.

          That might just be a flavor autism honestly,

          Source: i have one of these flavours of autism. People have often judged me for being high while i know there where no drugs were involved.

            yeah, well, the thing is that i’ve read many drug trip reports and what people describe there is often similar to what i experience anyways. so i see the connection there.

            No OUTSIDE drugs involved, but maybe there are internal drugs involved. You wouldn’t know, because you’ve always felt that way, it’s normal to you. But those on the outside recognize typical trippy behavior.

              Technically speaking its all drugs for everyone all the way down.

              Even besides the fact that mood and emotions are largely controlled by endocannabinoids. The difference between normal chemicals, medical chemicals and drug ones is a cultural distinction.
