Brief overview - What is DMT?

NN-Dimethyltryptamine or DMT for short is an short acting psychedelic entheogen which allows a persons consciousness to voyage into the most incredible dimensions, visions, thoughts and experiences imaginable.

It is without doubt one of the most powerful yet mysterious psychedelics in existence but to classify DMT as merely a drug would be doing it a great injustice as DMT is more a trans dimensional key into places and vistas so profound and awe inspiring that it raises many new questions regarding the nature of reality and our place within it.

DMT exists naturally in every human being and also throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. It occurs naturally in many mammals, marine animals, trees, grasses, flowers and shoots.

DMT is closely related to serotonin, the naturally occurring neurotransmitter that psychedelics affect so widely. The pharmacology of DMT is similar to that of other well-known psychedelics. It affects receptor sites for serotonin in much the same way that LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline do. These serotonin receptors are widespread throughout the body and can be found in blood vessels, muscle, glands, and skin.

There are a number of ways to acquire this entheogen. The first and most difficult way is to have some substantial chemistry knowledge and experience and actually synthesize pure DMT in a laboratory. This a rather tricky and time consuming process and requires access to some rather obscure and hard to acquire chemicals.

The most common and easiest method to acquire DMT is to extract it from the various plant species that contain the compound. The various plants and extraction techniques can be found on this wiki at the extraction teks.

Effects

Depending on the dosage and form of ingestion, the effects of DMT can range from a multitude of sensations, from light, subtle perceptual changes, to bizarre, beautiful and even 'impossible' visions , and to literally jaw hanging awe as one is propelled into other dimensions of existence where human language and logic cannot even begin to describe or comprehend.

There have been a few attempts to define different levels and types of experience. Psychedelic Monographs and Essays Psychedelic Monographs and Essays discusses different levels of a DMT experience.

The Hyperspace lexicon project is an attempt to create a new vocabulary to try to describe the DMT realm.

Another way to get a small glimpse of the effects it can generate from a subjective point of view, read the areas of the forum dedicated to experience reports (1, 2)

Pharmacology, toxicity and general safety

Pharmacology

DMT is inactive when taken orally, unless if ingested together with MAOI.

After intramuscular injection it is rapidly metabolised primarily into indol-3-ylacetic acid. About 33% of the dose is excreted in urine in 6 hours as free and conjugated (glucoronide) indol-3-ylacetic acid. Less than 0.1% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine in 24 hours (Clarke's second, 1986)

DMT is an agonist of serotonin 5-HT2a, 5-HT2c and 5-HT1a


For specific information about DMT/Ayahuasca pharmacology, read these papers:

Plants containing DMT

The following is a list of plants known to contain tryptamines. In some, the DMT content may be very small or it may be present together with other potentially unwanted alkaloids. Please research well before extracting from some plant, and be sure you have your desired alkaloids only when bioassaying from a new plant.

Dosages and consumption methods

http://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Ingestion_Methods

Smoked / Vaporized

Extracted DMT freebase can be vaporized for very potent effects that last around 10 minutes. DMT is ideally vaporized, as opposed to smoked. Vaporization is achieved by a controlled temperature that does not burn/combust DMT material (and potential impurities), but instead just makes DMT evaporate and be inhaled.

Vaporization is much smoother than smoking. Smoking leads to break down of DMT (and impurity) molecules into potential toxic nitrogen oxides (Trout's notes), so not only it is harsher but also there is a significant loss of actives.

Vaporizing can be achieved with improvised vaporizers such as The Inspirator mkII, or commercially sold vaporizing pipes such as the VaporGenie.

Some methods, such as The Machine, if it's very carefully done, keeping the lighter farther away, one can also vaporize DMT, but due to lack of adequate buffer between the fire and the alkaloids, often will also generate combustion.

Smoking is nonetheless still a popular way of ingesting DMT, and is often done by infusing herbs with the DMT, or smoking in a bong, with the DMT sandwhiched between thick layer of ashes or thin layer of herbs that serve to protect the DMT from fire (though there is still combustion, specially when using herbs).

Dosages are around 20-30mg for efficient vaporization methods, and with smoking methods can be around 50-60mg or even more....

Oral

DMT is only active orally when taking together with a MAOI. (FAQ for more info)

Dosages for DMT, considering MAOs are fully inhibited, vary wildly depending on person, probably due to metabolism in great part. They can go from 30 to 250mg! If its your first time, start on the lower end!

Another factor is whether one is ingesting a whole plant brew or purified extracts. Often in ayahuasca analysis the amount of DMT found is very small (20-30mg), but also often there is redosing in ayahuasca sessions, but also its possible other trace amount of beta-carbolines and alkaloids can improve MAO inhibition, or that other inactive plant substances can help protecting DMT from fast breakdown by any potential active MAO.


Snorted

This is a method that gets very opposite responses for different people. For many, it hurts too much and isn't effective. For others it works well and pain/discomfort is tolerable, and the effects are worth it. It is unknown what possible health consequences snorting a basic alkaloid such as DMT can have on nasal passages, specially long term use, so we advice caution. There are some attempts to find less harsh ways, check threads below for more info:
