Fast facts on DMT
Here are some key points about DMT. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
DMT has been used as a drug for thousands of years.
Use of the drug as part of shamanic ritual is common in South America.
Side effects include powerful hallucinations.
Due to the nature of the drug, DMT is known as the “spirit molecule.”
DMT is a white crystalline powder that is derived from certain plants found in Mexico, South America, and parts of Asia, such as Psychotria viridis and Banisteriopsis caapi.
It is typically consumed in the following ways:
vaporized or smoked in a pipe
consumed orally in brews like ayahuasca
snorted or injected on rare occasions
The chemical root structure of DMT is similar to the anti-migraine drug sumatriptan, and it acts as a non-selective agonist at most or all of the serotonin receptors, particularly at the serotonin 5-ht2a receptor. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has a large effect on the majority of our brain cells.
There is some evidence that DMT is also produced endogenously, in other words, it is produced naturally in the body, specifically in the pineal gland in the brain.
When smoked, the average dose of DMT is believed to be somewhere between 30 to 150 milligrams (mg), and the onset of action can be felt almost instantly. The effects peak and plateau for 3 to 5 minutes, and gradually drop off with the duration of effect totaling 30 to 45 minutes.
When consumed as a brew, the dose is between 35 to 75 mg. Effects begin after 30 to 45 minutes, peak after 2 to 3 hours and are resolved in 4 to 6 hours.
DMT street names
DMT is referred to by a number of slang terms:
dimitri
businessman’s trip
businessman’s special
fantasia
forty-five-minute psychosis

Have You Tried MDMA?
When i first started to take pills a few years ago, half of one was more than enough. It kept me rolling for hours. But now I need at least 5 pills to actually feel anything from them. When partying or so, I usually take around 10 pills a night. And the buzz isn't like it used to be.
That warm, loveing feeling I had about everyone like I used to have on pills in the past, just isn't the same anymore. Pills now just pep me up for dancing, keep me awake and makes it easier to have a conversation with someone. But its really not the feeling pills used to give me, when only taking 1 or two. I couldn't even walk straight, lol.
I have a few friends that just started to take e too, after taking e for their 3rd time they both toke 6 pills and everything seemed normal. On my third time it almost seemed impossible to take 6. One made me fly high enough as it was, if you know what I mean.
So I guess that I must have started to built up a tolerance over the years, but I also think (and I think this is the biggest factor) the quality of pills is really shit these days.
Just thinking that i used to pay £7 to £10 a pill! Now they only cost £2, sometimes £3 a pill. That has to mean something.
Now I think pills are just a waste of money for me. I would like to try out MDMA crystals, a friend told me the buzz is even better than e from a few years ago. The problem is, I have never seen anyone use MDMA powder before.
Do you snort it? Eat it? Or maybe mix it in a drink? And how much would you need to take to have a nice clear buzz?
