[edit] Businessman's Special

Did somebody make that up?Miserlou 17:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I've heard it referred to as such, but I have no sources to cite if you need them Lxx 22:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I've heard only DMT referred to in this way in work by Michael Valentine Smith, but DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are often confused for one another so this could very well be. - FV 18:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Jonathan Ott mentions this in Pharmacotheon stating; 'In 1966, in the course of a sensational interview published in Playboy magazine, the by then "controversial ex-Harvard professor, prime partisan and prophet of LSD" Leary stated "in years to come, it will be possible to have a lunch-hour psychedelic session; in a limited way that can be done now with DMT'. Ott goes on to say, 'In part because of Leary's mention in Playboy of the possibility of a "lunch-hour psychedelic session" with DMT, the drug came to be known popularly as the "businessman's trip" (Bigwood & Ott 1977), the entheogen which a businessman could use on his lunch-hour, returning clear-headed to the office world to finance and lucre!'. This would explain the variations such "businessman's special", "businessman's trip", "businessman's lunch", and so forth.--Astavats (talk) 22:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pharmacology section?

As with most with any drug article I feel a pharmacology section would be fitting. 5-MeO-DMT's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics would enhance the worth of this article. If anyone with more pharmacological knowledge could help please do so. Thank you.--Astavats (talk) 21:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
