Related: About this forumJohns Hopkins University seeks DMT psychonauts who have met machine elves!
Neuroscience researcher Roland Griffiths at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is leading a scientific study on "the experiences of people who have had encounters with seemingly autonomous beings or entities after taking DMT." If that's you, fill out the anonymous survey! Just say know.
From the Daily Grail:
Dr. Roland R. Griffiths is a professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His main line of work has been studying the subjective and behavioral effects of mood-altering drugs, and has written over 360 journal articles and book chapters e.g. Psilocybin Can Occasion Mystical-Type Experiences Having Substantial and Sustained Personal Meaning and Spiritual Significance. (Psychopharmacology, July of 2006), which proved instrumental in setting up trials for the testing of the emotional benefits of psylocibin among terminal patients.
So if youve had a tête à tête with one of Terence McKennas self-dribbling jeweled basketballs, please consider contributing to the Johns Hopkins study...

Hey, these people are sacrificing themselves for the betterment of humankind through science!

versed with magic-elf activity.* I was surprised to be wrong.
* I based this on my post of an atonal rock band, The Shaggs and their song, "My Pal Foot Foot." It turned out that the Shaggs had many fans on DU.
