Dmt Informative Speech

I. I know most of you in here either know someone, or have heard of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Maybe you’ve had family who has gone to war, or you have been in a bad car accident a few years back. A. Treatment for PTSD includes drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil. But taking these drugs can put you at a high risk for addiction. 1. Although these drugs may not be considered addicting, according to www.addictioncenter.com, “people can still develop a physical dependence on the antidepressants. They are also more likely to abuse other drugs.

II. I have recently learned about a drug called Dimethyltryptamine from a documentary on netflix called “DMT The Spirit
