Gnomes are mythological non-human creatures by definition. I surmise that somebody added non-human to forestall confusion with words used to describe humans of short stature. The term gnome would or should never be used in an encyclopedic context to denote a human being, as it is highly offensive. In a strictly medical setting, the terms dwarf and midget are acceptable (distinct syndromes). And in general polite conversation, there is not much need to remind people of their height, as they tend to be quite aware. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:95B:B5DC:38E5:ED07 (talk) 07:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A common misconception for those who seek to use DMT is that it is similar to a derivative of it; 5-MeO-DMT. They are completely different compounds regardless of how chemically similar they may appear. While DMT is referred to as "The Spirit Molecule" and is the main component in Ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT is considered "The God Molecule". This is an important distinction to make as going into either experience with misguided expectations can lead to a negative outcome. DMT tends to be perceived as more visual while 5-MeO-DMT has been reported to yield more unexplainable and incomprehensible experiences. Another distinction to be made is how either compound reacts when mixed with MAOI inhibitors. When DMT is ingested along with an MAOI inhibitor such as is contained by the Banisteriopsis caapi vine (the most common combination used to create ayahuasca), the experience can last up to 6 hours (and may be altered in other ways), as opposed to the common 15 minute DMT experience when it is ingested alone. When 5-MeO-DMT is ingested along with any MAOI inhibitor, the result can lead to cases of severe and lethal intoxication. 147luca (talk) 01:51, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
People don't come to Wikipedia for harm reduction, there may be other resources for that. I think we should only make the distinction (example Template:Not_to_be_confused) if they sound similar that people might be confused, not because people consume one drug thinking it was another. If you have specific content changes, please propose them. --WikiLinuz (talk) 02:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
