on the natural vs. synthetic debate:
i'm not really "down" with the idea of entities contained in natural chemicals, though the topic is intriguing. i think it's more likely that natural chemicals, say natural DMT, is arranged differently at a subatomic level, than synthesized DMT.
i've always thought that natural chems are pretty much the same as synthetic, but then i heard some scientist talking...how can we be sure that our catalytic reactions put quarks and whatnot in the exact place that a plant's enzyme does? maybe that's where the main difference lies.
and about meth - even if it is natural, the majority of it is synthesized. and even though you can synthesize THC, it's more commonly found naturally.
also, i've had some very natural, connected to the earth type trips on 2ce, a purely synthetic chemical (as far as we know)
i suspect that your (arthunter) feeling of synthetic trips was b/c you expected it on some level.
sorry that it's getting off topic, but i agree, that you guys have a good conversation going. forgive me for butting in
