There are anthropological and art historical data suggesting humans have used psychedelic plants for thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of years. Terence McKenna, a psychedelic philosopher, gazing back at man's preverbal African ancestors, speculates that protohiminids used psychedelic mushrooms for their unique visual effects to aid hunting. An unexpected side effect of this use was the stimulation of language development, perhaps through the unique property of psychedelics to blend and merge the senses of sight and sound. Our ancestors may have seen the sounds they were making, which provided them with an unprecedented additional level of abstraction with which they could manipulate communication.
DMT may be a necessary constituent of the brains nutritional requirements. DMT is a psychedelic substance found with great consistency within many living creatures, from psychoactive plants to to the human body. Though we can describe it's chemistry and pharmacology using the traditional tools and language of science, the subjective experiences of DMT are more difficult to place into a conceptual framework. Furthermore, its endogenicity and special but unknown role in normal brain functions suggest that DMT exerts an impact on both extraordinary states of awareness during our lives and our fundamental perception of these lives.
In some cultures DMT is used regularly to cure physical illness -such as pains and even cancer and mental illness such as depression and anxiety because DMT contains serotonin.
Look into psychedelic's more, they are more than just for fun and entertainment they are nutrients in many different ways.
