Hey I was playing EOTN and noticed monsters named "Cave Ayahuasca". I've never noticed these but thought it was very weird to see monsters named after the most powerful hallucinogenic substance known to make. Ayahuasca is a drink that contains Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is this hallucinogenic substance mentioned previously. Ayahuasca is made in south and central America by native tribes and drank for religious purposes, mostly. DMT is produced in your brain, released by the pineal gland during normal metabolism while you sleep, and is the cause of your dreams at night. It is produced in many plants and animals and can be extracted from a number of them into a crystallized formed. It can then be used recreationaly, religiously, or however one may please. DMT is a Schedule 1 "drug". However, one can hardly consider it a drug as it is not addictive, it does not destroy braincells, there are no withdrawals, and altogether there is literally no physical harm done to the body when under the influence of DMT. Many scientists who have researched DMT, such as Rick Strassman, believe that DMT and the Pineal Gland, which is believed to produce the DMT, is the physical seat of the soul in the human body, and that the release of DMT from the Pineal Gland controls the spirits entrance and exit of the body. Some researchers say that the reality brought on during sleep by DMT may be just as valid and important as the reality we live in each day. Users and researchers say DMT can be used to discover one's "trueself" and to find inner peace.

I'm sure that was more than any of you wanted to know, but just watned to breifly tell about DMT and Ayahuasca, and why I find it weird that there are monsters named after it in GW.

Pot rhymes with hot which is the opposite of cold which is slower movement of atoms which is the opposite of faster moving particles which is when something heats up which is can be classified as warming which rhymes with morning which is when i woke up today which is Nov, 4, 2009 which is 11/4/2009 and if you add those digits up you get 2024 which rhymes with door which opens when you give it force which rhymes with remorse...

OMG Pot === Images of Remorse !?!?!?

That would be really clever except it made no sense. It's not like I said 2 things that had nothing to do with each other. Ayahuasca is a DMT containing drink used to trip out. Pretty sure that's a direct relation between the two, not just same crazed line of things like what you said.

The wiki should almost have an expandable section called "Extra Trivia" containing this. Also good to know that fighting plants won't have any other effects on your character than being able to realize who they are.

Don't gotta be so harsh. Pointless posts for, as you said yourself, pointless thread. We all know Anet has a lot of references to culture.
