  • DMT is naturally produced in a variety of plants and animals (including humans) and is also a potent psychoactive drug known for its ability to cause intense hallucinations and psychedelic experiences. In this video, I discuss how DMT might act in the brain to produce its unique effects.
    TRANSCRIPT:
    DMT is a substance that’s produced naturally in a variety of plants and animals, including humans. The functions of naturally-produced DMT are unclear, but DMT is also a potent psychoactive drug known for its ability to produce intense but relatively short-lived hallucinations and psychedelic experiences. When used recreationally, DMT is typically smoked, but it’s also the main psychoactive ingredient in ayahuasca, a brewed drink that produces longer-lasting psychedelic effects. Although orally administered DMT is rapidly degraded by an enzyme called monoamine oxidase, ayahuasca is brewed with plants that contain inhibitors of this enzyme, enabling the DMT in ayahuasca to remain active even though it’s administered orally.
    The pharmacology of DMT is not well understood. The drug has actions at a variety of receptors in the nervous system, but its best characterized effects are its ability to stimulate a wide range of serotonin receptor subtypes. Studies suggest that DMT’s action at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor is especially important for producing its characteristically intense visual hallucinations. At the same time, stimulation of the 5-HT2A receptor alone does not seem to be sufficient to cause the hallucinations experienced by DMT users. Thus, it’s thought that other serotonin receptor subtypes might be involved in these effects, and some evidence suggests that receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate may play a role as well. It’s also possible that DMT’s actions at other receptors, such as sigma-1 receptors and trace amine-associated receptors, may contribute to the drug’s effects, but more research is needed to elucidate DMT’s full mechanism of action.
    DMT, like many other psychedelic drugs, is now gaining attention for its therapeutic potential. Studies with ayahuasca have found the drink to have beneficial effects in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction, and studies are currently underway to investigate the possibility of DMT alone offering some of the same benefits.

    I still can't understand why DMT produce that much intense effect on humans, obviously current literature can't explain it. There are lots of immersive stories about DMT and it makes me so interested about this molecule.

      It’s because most people are smoking spiritual doses when using dmt. You can get similar effects from lsd and mushrooms, you just have to take high doses.

DMT is totally different experience, this is like death experience, You can see your body in this world while you traveling another world. I have done that experience but I have words that I can explain in a one line . So much see is different what you see every day. It not a dream, people talk to you while you’re not in body, you notice you have come back to answer & you don’t want to come back. DMT is Amazing thing

      I personally don't believe that science is ever going to be able to adequately explain how profound DMT visions are. There are certain things in life (this included) you have to experience them in order to believe.
      Certain things are just too stunning to be able to put into words, You can try but they always seem to fall short.

    I have never tried DMT in my life, but I have been thinking about it. I'm seriously tempted to just go full send. Like as many rips as I can before I'm immobile. What's the worst that could happen? Wouldn't it be beneficial to get the worst part over with first? Plus I imagine it would be one hell of a funny story to tell.

    At a time when science is exploring the impact of light eg.. the loss of infrared in lighting, impact of lack of exposure to sunlight and the increased use of media devices on mental health. Perhaps getting out to watch the sunrise and sunset, reintroducing infrared and ultra violet to LEDs, and putting a blue light filter on media devices. May be a lower risk positive impact on mental health ? Investigation of the properties of DMT is very important but medication is always used incorrectly by someone.
