DMT, also known as N, N-dimethyltryptamine in medical terminology, is a hallucinogenic tryptamine that has effects akin to those of psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD. DMT use dates back hundreds of years and is frequently connected to religious ceremonies or behaviors. The main reason DMT is employed is because of its psychedelic, psychoactive effects.
The following are typical side effects of DMT use:
Euphoria
Floating sensation
Visual and auditory hallucinations
Depersonalization/disassociation
Heightened sensation (touch)
Epiphany or ‘life changing experiences’
Spiritual insight
Despite having a lengthy, if not honorable, history, DMT has never received as much attention as its rival. One of the most significant naturally occurring hallucinogenic substances, DMT is generated from the essential amino acid tryptophan during normal metabolism and is present in trace amounts in people as well as in numerous Amazonian plants (Ayahuasca). It has been shown that DMT is distinct from other traditional hallucinogens in that tolerance to its psychological effects does not develop.
Canadian scientist Richard Manske created DMT for the first time in 1921. In 1956, more research on its psychedelic qualities was conducted after it was identified as the active component of Cohoba.
