I&#x27;m not claiming anything, I&#x27;m saying: its possible that there is more to consciousness than it appears and that the barriers to studying the relationships between certain tryptamine compounds and the human psyche is a worthy scientific endeavor to overcome. All I can speak to are my own <i>personal</i> experiences, and those who participated in Rick Strassman&#x27;s DMT study between 1990 and 1995 at the University of New Mexico.<p>If you don&#x27;t mind me asking, how is this not clear?
