Dopes abuse it by smoking it just like the acid heads of the '60s. This is a power food of the Earth which should only be ingested under the care of a good shaman like the ayahuasca rituals in the jungles of South American. These substances were respected and honored for thousands of years among the indigenous peoples. Those who haven't the patience and awareness to cause the release of DMT naturally and experience non-local travel, viewing and encounters with other non-physical sentient beings will, instead, smoke it and misunderstand their experiences and risk harm to their spiritual and physical selves.
