Check that out, just came in at our Yahoo group, these guys are claiming to be experts on stuff they know nothing about. The only information they have on entheogens and spirituality is from hear-say and assumptions.
As our brother Rev. Steven B. Thompson wrote:

What those guys are actually doing is to improve their organisms of destucting the old cultures and their (our) ways. they are "justifying" their cruisade against "those who think different" in the 'scientific mainstream' and planting the idea that the use of entheogens is connected with "abuse" and can be "cured" into the mainstream minds.
This is in fact a gathering of criminals who plan the destruction and whiping out of an entire culture.

Maybe we could get a table at the conference representing the "opposing viewpoint"....!
Probably be the most popular one there!

"when God created DMT in our brain system he knew that those from the
scientific mainstream would think... shjt that's against humanity,how could that happen"? someone else said"God is love" so DMT is made with love of God. so that's above the scientific mainstream understanding.
and if there is no God who created it then it is there anyways.
God bless with DMT and THC.
