What Is DMT? Joe Rogan

This is the story of DMT or dimethyltryptamine a Simple compound found throughout nature which has profound effects on human consciousness The most powerful psychedelic drug known to man it's in every single ecosystem all over the world It exists in plants and grasses and it's everywhere I mean, it's really the craziest drug to be illegal everywhere because everyone's got it in their system It's like everyone's holding that was like tennis mechanics holding line. Yeah, and It's a pretty intense stuff man. If you do it, you will talk to intelligent beings from other dimensions for real I mean, it sounds crazy. You would think that if there's something like that that it would be on the front page But it's amazing that people don't know about it. I mean, it's the most incredible experience. I mean we are such like an experience obsessed society I mean everybody wants to go whitewater rafting and people want to talk about, you know, my uncle climb Mount Everest all about experiences We all want to ride roller coasters and see the craziest movies There is a little powder and you smoke this little powder and it will change the way you look at everything You won't care about UFOs of a UFO landed right out there. Like wow. Yeah, they're probably from another planet Whatever. It's not DMT. DMT is a hundred thousand times crazier than that. It's like mushrooms times a million plus aliens It's like literally I mean it sounds it's it's crazier than you could possibly imagine or describe if you take DMT You will communicate with something and it's it's it's so Beyond description that me talking about it is like trying to explain a kaleidoscope to a blind man I mean, it just doesn't make sense. Like there's no way you could explain it I mean, it's just it's so beyond anything you can explain But something communicates with you when you when you do this stuff and my words do it Craziest thing about DMT is DMT is literally like having a meeting with God. It's like having a meeting with divine unbelievably wise Incredibly loving energy like whatever it is the source of everything and it leaves you so humbled that after that after it's over You have a it's literally like you're still you you still look like you you still wear the same clothes you are But you're not really you anymore. I mean you literally have been changed, you know You have experienced something that very few humans experience and the thought to me that people can go through their entire lives and not know about This is an incredible waste of time It's like your life could be so much more positive and so much more interesting and fascinating and you you'd be so much more humble and aware Of what you you really are and where you really stand if you just have this experience The crazy thing is you can get alcohol everywhere. You got a Dwayne Reid by a bug juggle wine. You're fucked up Yeah, I mean we have we have drugs that are available. I mean, how many times you talk to a girl? Oh, I don't eat drugs. Meanwhile, she's hammered smoking a cigarette, you know, I mean everybody there's there's drugs caffeine I mean, I'm drinking a coffee right now. It's just it's sanctioned It's a sanctioned drug because it's it's great for capitalism. It keeps you going keeps you working But there's you know, there's there's drugs out there that are actually good for you There's drugs out there that are actually good for your mind I do drugs because I find the state that psychedelic drugs put you in very fascinating and very Introspective and you can learn a lot about yourself You learn about a lot about life because it removes you and your ego from the equation you get to look at things from like a Newborns perspective. That's why I do it. I don't do anything like I don't do coke or math or anything dangerous anything that's addictive I have never done coke. I've never done speed. I've never done heroin I won't do anything that can hurt you but psychedelic drugs Those are they're very different with this this big blanket that we put on everything we call everything drugs That's a broad term that encompasses everything from like NyQuil to DMT, you know, I mean, they're all drugs I mean they all they all affect your consciousness. It's like how do they affect your consciousness though? I'm not interested in anything that messes me up I'm the understand anything that gives me brain damage or anything that makes me, you know addicted to it I just I'm only interested in things that that can alter my state of consciousness for the better. It's very very intense There's a little bit. It's not dangerous. Yeah, but it's a human neurotransmitter It's actually one of the most transient drugs ever exhibited in the body because your body brings it down the baseline Really quickly your body brings down the baseline in like 10 to 15 minutes. It's really crazy That means that it's like you means like say if you have it you're high you go to that dimension blows out and 15 minutes later you back normal and the crazy thing is is just like dreams You know you wake up and you're like I had a crazy dream was me and my buddy Mike and we were we were kids But we had a sled and my mom was there and then five minutes lady like what the hell is my dream? That's exactly what a DMT trip was like. It's like gold dust slipping through your fingers Why is DMT in our bodies? Why is it in plants and all sorts of mammals? What is the role it plays in human? Why is there a part of the brain that seems to be? For lack of a better word a God detector I'm actually quite quite convinced that we're probing The biological basis of moral and ethical behavior Desperate to find new information ideas and so on that can come to transcend we have to evolve
