DMT stands for N, N-Dimethyltryptamine

It is a powerful psychedelic drug, historically used in many cultures for rituals and healing purposes.
With serotonergic effects on the human brain, which can induce a rapid and intense psychedelic experience, often referred to as a ‘DMT trip’. The DMT experience is usually characterised by visual hallucinations, frequently involving powerful entities, and is often associated with deeper meaning. This meaningful experience is sometimes called a ‘DMT breakthrough’. When used as a recreational drug, DMT can be smoked, snorted, or injected in its crystal form.

The DMT molecule is structurally similar to other psychedelic tryptamines such as 4-AcO-DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and psilocybin, allowing it to bind to serotonin receptors and induce psychedelic effects.

DMT is found naturally in a variety of plants and has a long history as the psychoactive component in ayahuasca, a thick hallucinogenic tea, which is considered an important element of shamanic tradition in the Upper and Lower Amazon..
