Jaguar comment[edit]

Since DMT in leaves is at best 2%, the jaguar would not only have to eat a large quantity, but also an MAOi such as B. caapi as well (also in large quantities since the DMT is enzymatically degraded by MAOs in the GI tract of the jaguar). Maybe there are other plants such as catnip in the Amazon, that could entice the jaguar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.170.217.233 (talk) 15:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My 2¢ -- The reference cited for the ridiculous statement ". . . sometimes used by humans or other animals, such as the jaguar for the neurological or psychotropic effects of the substance" is attempting to claim something like "there is evidence that jaguars in the wild consume the roots of Banisteriopsis caapi." If that were all, I would accept it, but the idiot that wrote it 1) doesn't know Banisteriopsis and 2) wants to believe that jaguars in nature get high. As if that would make it "more right" in their world order for he or she to use tryptamines. It is ok for you to use tryptamines, even if the jaguar doesn't. B. caapi contains harmala alkaloids, not tryptamines.
