Dimethyltryptamine

The drug Dimethyltryptamine also known as DMT is limitless. I’ve been familiar with this drug and it never ceased to amaze me. I don’t think it’s a drug that we can fully understand without esoteric knowledge and certain preparation. I believe this because the DMT experience is a journey beyond all senses of this dimension. DMT is said to take you beyond this material world into the spirit realm. 

DMT is a fierce naturally occurring psychedelic that’s also found in plants, animals, and humans. DMT can be in the form of a liquid to drink or in crystal form where it’s often smoked out of a pipe or bong. After DMT is smoked, it produces a powerful hallucinogenic state that’s considered one of the most intense psychedelic experiences in existence.

DMT was first synthesized in 1931 by Richard Manske through experimentation. When DMT was first discovered nobody knew about the effects on humans nor its presence, therefore it was forgotten about until the South American Shamans found it. Despite its presence in South America, the effects of DMT were not discovered until first reported by Stephen Szara in 1956. The people during the time described DMT to be too dangerous to even experiment, therefore it was made illegal in 1966. In 1970 congress passed laws that made it nearly impossible to do any kind of research on DMT. Fortunately, the FDA approved Rick Strassman to do clinical trials on DMT at the University of New Mexico. It was during these trials where they found DMT in the brains of rats, mice, human blood, human urine, and the cerebral spinal-chord fluid bathing the brain. Once all these were discovered, DMT became the first human psychedelic.

Low doses (0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg) of DMT primarily effect physical and emotional states with few to no hallucinations. High doses typically produce intense techno-colored abstract images. States of anxiety are common along with Euphoric states. Also if you take higher doses, it’s common that you will have an out of body experience or a dissociation of awareness from the physical body. This can transform into euphoria, laughter, amazement, and confusion. It’s also common to distort time so much that you may not be able to comprehend time. For example, someone who smokes DMT might feel like they’re in an alternate Universe longer than they actually are.

Reports suggest that after you smoke DMT you gain better awareness and a better spiritual connection to the world. It is said that DMT can be used to achieve a new perspective on life. Many people who experience DMT also report that it gives them a connection to unconscious parts of their mind, allowing them to overcome mental blocks they have been experiencing. Claims also suggest that people who experience DMT learn to control their emotions better. 

Now let’s look at all the possible dangers and solutions. The most dangerous part about DMT is that the effects are fast and the experiencer has no control over their mind or body. The effects are so fast that it can catch you off guard if you aren’t fully prepared. It’s always safer to have someone such as a friend or a family member to watch over you while you experience DMT. DMT is a very powerful psychedelic and it can have fatal consequences for someone not properly prepared. Don’t take DMT for fun, take it as a life changing experience.
