This fucking bald imbecile indeed ruined like half the niche psych online communities due to his inane ramblings; he’s also spread falsehoods far and wide (like “DMT is produced by the human body in potentially psychoactive quantities” - it’s fucking not, it’s produced in minutes amounts likely as a neurotransmitter production’s side effect; or also “DMT is released when we die” - also complete bullshit)
And as for the experience, it really is profound. I like to link this article and this follow-up, both by Nick Sand, for newcomers
imo DMT is the worst psychedelic. 15 minutes that i barely remember? id much rather have a nice saturday LSD trip and have a full day of good vibes (most of the time)
I hate that Joe Rogan and Silicon Valley techbros ruined the reputation of DMT which really is profound.

Has he ruined any communities? The ones I frequent rarely mention him except to make fun of him
I feel like McKenna has a more negative effect only because people try to cite his theories as if it were done under rigorous scientific methods
I’m probably exaggerating a bit, but it has led to an influx of very vocal new members sometimes fairly deaf to discussion to many of them
