Aliens Quote by Terence McKenna
“It is true that when you smoke DMT, for example, at a sufficiently high and prepared dose, you get elves, everybody does. All you need do, is inhale deeply three times, and you know... You want contact? You want elves? You want alien contact? You'll have that!”

![“[DMT] raises all the questions in a hurry. It's so intense and so oriented toward the other and the visual and the hallucinogenic that it isn't really like a drug. It's more like an event that you ran into. You just came around a corner and there was the unspeakable.” quote by Terence McKenna](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cf1/terence-mckenna-287_corners_dmt-raises-all-the-questions-in-a-hurry_1007718.jpg)
