    Lots of trip reports on delerients involve talking to devils and demons and the like.

      Okay, but again, the question remains: how much of that is power of suggestion and priming/expectation?

        Exactly. To my understanding, when people see demons, theyre being what they imagine a demon to look like, with no coherence between experiencers unless they already had a shared framework for those entities. Its similar to my seeing people I knew, memory/ imagination combined with a dream like state, innthe case of demons, probably with a component of chemically induced fear contributing.

        Id be curious to see more in depth testing on these mushrooms. Do the small people all have the same size between experiencers? Similar clothing, attributes, actions and movements, etc?

        In other words, how much of the e tities is defined by the user and how much the drug?
