Sold my soul to the psychedelic revolution or whatever.
"Hype" generally refers to high levels of attention + exaggeration of benefits.

Maybe if they just keep repeating how great their clinical trials were often enough, it will magically become the truth.

How liars create the ‘illusion of truth’
Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding the "illusion of truth" effect can help you avoid falling victim to this trick.

Hahaha, any claims you are making about arguing in good faith are negated by your own comment trail my friend.

You're distorting the science, distorting critiques, distorting participant experiences, hell, you're even distorting your own article. It's been a gas, enjoy your high horse!

My god, your thinking is like Swiss cheese.

Your inability to imagine a reason is not bullet proof evidence that there is none.

How would releasing the letter affect the next round of FDA review? The FDA already has access to the letter

Golly, really doesn't take much for you to show your bias 😂

Now why don't you tell the class more about how you're totally not being defensive!

Actually you didn't. You glossed over the real problems with the science. And you keep getting called out for it, and getting defensive in response.

A very sketchy looking "academic publication" about DMT in a very sketchy looking "academic journal"

Journal title resembles a real journal? Six weeks from received to accepted? Author's institution doesn't actually exist?

Everything about this article and journal stinks. @retractionwatch.com

Pro tip: Google "how to spot a predatory journal" & "how not to spread junk science and misinfo"
