Is DMT the key to hacking reality?

Are you a doctor? Because that article says nothing about occasional use of a 5-ht2b agonist causing valve damage. Some of the drugs on the agonist list are used on a daily basis to treat medical conditions and may cause valve problems in some people after months of daily use. Unless you can point to a study showing what you are claiming, this is just spreading FUD.
Is the damage permanent ?
That is kind of a strange question for something that changes the structure of your heart valves. I'm going to go with "yes", but I'm no cardiologist. You can get heart valve replacement surgery, which might be "permanent" depending on your viewpoint. Death is also permanent, but you were going to do that anyway.
Wait -- these scientists think there's a possibility these hallucinations take you to an alternate dimension, and that the 'beings' encountered are not simply creations of our mind?
Fucking hell; they've tripped themselves retarded.
I guess there's no harm in trying.

I'm not saying that they are indeed "beings", but if you try it you'll spend a hell of a lot of time trying to figure out what just happened to you.
There is definitely a possibility DMT takes you to another dimension.
I guess I don't get how dimensions can be disconnected. It's true if you live in flatland and you move up into a third dimension you dont seem to move in flatland, but then if you wanted to explore the third dimension you would still move through the second, just as to exist in space one must exist in time. If you are moving through and extra dimension an outside observer ought to see part of that movement. (Granted I don't know what I'm talking about.)
Ok, so maybe I'd find it easier to believe if it was explained as some kind of wormholes opening up to our senses that allow us to occupy some kind of Avatar from this point in space.
I guess you could have two trippers meet in this space and exchange information. That should be testable.

Here is how it messes with your heart valves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT2B_receptor
Note that DMT is in the list, along with some similar things that people play with.
