Well, Dr. Rick Strassman speculates in his book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule" that even in the natural case, this may very well be an induction of endogenous N,N-DMT. So, if he's right, then one can never truly say they've had this experienced "without drugs."

What is interesting is that I was under extreme stress at the time and suffering from hallucinations and depression. I think that is a factor.
Well, at moments of extreme stress, this could be a trigger for a natural induction of N,N-DMT. At least that is Strassman's speculation. Alan Watts called it a "natural satori."

So, you can buy into a theory like M-theory? Is that what you're saying?
