DMT
2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl-dimethyl-amine
DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) is a naturally occurring psychedelic tryptamine, characterized primarily by its strong and short-lasting hallucinogenic effects. It acts primarily as an agonist at serotonin receptors, particularly 5-HT2A, and induces intense visual and sensory alterations. Due to its short duration of action and potential psychological burden, a moderate risk profile is assumed. DMT is found in various plants and in the human body and is being studied in research on consciousness.

Synapedia Evidence
DMT primarily acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, leading to the characteristic psychedelic effects. It also affects other serotonin receptors, which increases the complexity of its effects.

Avoid uncertain dosage claims and do not infer numbers when data is unclear.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
