NMT Molecule

Brief overview - What is NMT?

NMT is a tryptamine found in several plants, previously thought to be inactive, but novel research done by Nen888 has shown it to be psychoactive.

Chemical and physical properties

For solubility, melting point, etc, check the NMT Chemical and Physical Properties WIKI

Effects

DMT Nexus user reports:

  • 1/3 to 1/4 potency of DMT. A slower onset than DMT, coming up after about 3-5 minutes and peaking within a minute, with residual low effects over an hour to 70 minutes thereafter. Nen (2001))
  • A higher body load and lower visual and mental activity than DMT. Arcologist)

Entheogenic Effects of NMT

Pharmacology, toxicity and general safety

  • Present in trace amounts as part of normal metabolism (Source)

Plants containing NMT

  • Suspected to co-occur with DMT (tlc by Appleseed).
  • Mulga ran hplc-ms and observed what appeared to be a simple tryptamine but was unclear if the identity was this alkaloid or tryptamine as the parent fragments seemed to be lacking; see http://www. lycaeum.org/drugsiplants/ tryptamines/acacia/species.htm & Trout's Notes on Acacias 2004.
