DMT

 WHAT IS DMT
DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE?
DMT is a
Tryptamine
molecule found
in plants,
mammals, and
fungi.
 HOW WAS DMT DISCOVERED?
DMT was first introduced in 1931 by Richard Manske which lead to the
discovery of mescaline. Its psychedelic attributes were not discovered until
1956 by a Hungarian chemist by the name of Stephen Szra who first ate the
substance and then once he felt no effect he injected himself with DMT.
 HOW DMT WORKS IN THE BRAIN?
DMT is like LSD AND
Psilocin binds or takes
over serotonin receptors
and causes consistent
serotonin discharge into
the brain which leads to
hallucination and the
feeling of being in
another dimension. DMT
is claimed to be
released in the human
brain during birth and
death.
 ACUTE EFFECTS OF DMT
Dilated pupils.
Rapid eye movement.
Raised heart rate.
High blood pressure.
Clumsiness.
Dizziness.
Nausea and vomiting (Usually when consumed as a drink)
Coma and or respiratory arrest
 LONG TERM EFFECTS OF DMT
DMT has not been classified as a
highly addictive drug by the NIDA
and there is no solid evidence
concluding that DMT or Ayahuasca
can cause psychological or
neurological defects. The only
incident that can occur with like
many other psychedelics is HPPD
(Hallucinogen Persisting Perception
Disorder)
 WHAT IS A DMT TRIP LIKE?
DMT is one of if not the strongest psychedelics ever! When smoked in usually
takes about three hits to break through
The 1st hit makes users feel more aware of their surroundings and details all
over the room.
The 2nd hit hits a lot stronger and comenses a sense of slow motion followed
with mild hallucinations.
The 3rd hit is usually enough to break through and go into a alternate reality
or a deep state of hallucination.

 WHERE IS DMT FOUND?
DMT can be found in
many different forms of
like such as mammals
and a wide variety of
plants growing in the
wild today. Also DMT
has been found in the
pineal gland of rodents
and has been claimed
to be in the human
brain and released
during dreams and
birth/death.
 HOW DMT IS MADE?
DMT is found in a wide array of life
forms and it is quite easy to extract.
One of the most common ways is to
bake Mimosa with de-ionized water,
vinegar and salt. After shaking and
mixing the concoction you pour it
into de-ironized water and place it all
in a hot water bath. A Clear liquid will
form on the top and that must be
sucked out and placed separately
where it will harden and have to be
scraped off turning it into crystals.
 ANOTHER FORM OF DMT
This form of DMT is quite shocking it comes from Bufo Alvarius! This species of
toad has special glands on the back of his neck that produce a puss like
substance that must be popped like a pimple onto a pane of glass which is
then dried and smoked in a meth pipe.
 YAGE
Yage is a psychedelic vine
tea containing DMT. This
Brew contains a MAO
inhibitor which slows down
the bodies ability to process
DMT and the other
component in the tea.
 DOSAGE
The common dosage of DMT smoked is about 50 Mg to feel its full effects.
DMT is quite a strange drug since it is hard to over-dose. DMT will not fully
experience of DMT causing them to want to try it again and again.
 LEGAL STATUS
In the United States of America DMT is
a schedule 1 drug (no medical
benefits and high risk for abuse) on
the other hand in Southern America it
has been used for religious purposes.
Its become a popular tourist
attraction which has lead to the
death of multiple people.

 DMT IN RITUALS.
In Punta Chueca, Sonora lies a
community that goes by the name of
La Communidad Seri this
community has dealt with a huge
consumption of crico crystal meth
in the past decade. Spiritual rituals
have begun to take place in Punta
Chueca with DMT to help cope rid
people of their addictions.

 ANOTHER DMT RITUAL
The tea form of DMT ayahuasca has
been used for generations upon
generations for enlightenment and
blessings but its background has lead
to its popularity among tourist
seeking alternative healing. If you are
interested in a spiritual retreat you will
have to buy a ticket to Peru.
 DRUGS LIKE DMT.
DMT is one of many psychedelic drugs that effect serotonin in this category
lies LSD and Psilocybin mushrooms. Each one of these drugs causes excess
amounts of serotonin in the brain leading to hallucinations and other feelings
of euphoria. DMT is the only drug here that has high duration.
 HISTORY OF DMT
DMT has been traced to as far back
as 4000 years in Southern America as
a uncommon form called yopo
which consisted of crushed up leaves
containing DMT being snorted like
cocaine out of cups like these. This
form of consuming DMT is only been
used deep in the Amazon forest by
native tribes.
 DMT IN THE BLACK MARKET

DMT is not a popular

drug since it is hard to
come across and its
prices are extremely
high sometimes its up to
$200 a gram. Most
people wanting to
experience DMT have
to buy a kit containing
all the materials to
make it themselves.
 CAN YOU OVERDOSE?
While I do not condone the use of
any psychoactive substance DMT is a
hard drug to overdose on,
Considering that DMT strips you of
your sense of reality I dont think
anyone could physically take so
much DMT before passing out.
