I would highly caution against recommending DMT to random strangers. It is not for the faint of heart and it is also nowhere near a magic fix-all. Also, its routes of administration mostly suck (smoking/vaping or MAOIs).
Lammers should try anyway.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and psychedelic medicines are among the most high-profile evolving disruptive innovations within mental healthcare in recent years. Although AI and psychedelics may not have historically shared any common ground, there exists the potential for these subjects to combine in generating innovative mental health treatment approacheshttps://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.15...

That application of psychedelics is almost entirely dissimilar to what you are proposing. While a lot of the emerging research in the field is nice (and long overdue in my opinion), I would be absolutely floored if any of it recommended DMT for the treatment of dissenting opinions.

It's not like I just also could use some DMT either, since I already use psychedelics on a damn near weekly basis. It's just not something that you should be telling random strangers to try. It works differently on everyone, is not always helpful, and can even be harmful.

Not like this.
