Joe Rogan on dimethyltryptamine, the drug you make yourself, the so-called “strongest hallucinogen”:

Dr. Z has suggested (I have yet to review the evidence) that tetrahydrocannabinol is a neurotransmitter that our brains no longer produce, but still support.

It’s interesting that Rogan mentions that DMT is a neurotransmitter as well. Wikipedia has the more hedged, more NPOV, view that it’s “transmitter-like” and Erowid takes the more aggressive position that it might be the cause of the illusion of human consciousness.

I watched El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer with Spacekat at lunch today and I realized I could make an insanity pepper chili… The episode is based on the writings of Castañeda, who I suppose I’ll get to after Huxley.
