This information page will focus specifically on DMT rather than ayahuasca, for more information on ayahuasca please click here.ĭMT comes in various forms, which are suitable for different methods of consumption and will alter the duration of the experience. 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.ĭMT 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.Ĭurrently, there is limited evidence supporting endogenous DMT production in humans, specifically whether DMT is produced in the brain. When used as a recreational drug, DMT can be smoked, snorted, or injected in its crystal form. This meaningful experience is sometimes called a ‘DMT breakthrough’. The DMT experience is usually characterised by visual hallucinations, frequently involving powerful entities, and is often associated with deeper meaning. It is a powerful psychedelic drug, with serotonergic effects on the human brain, which can induce a rapid and intense psychedelic experience, often referred to as a ‘DMT trip’.
