N,N-Dimethyltryptamine

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in various plants and some animals. It is known for producing intense, short-lived visions and altered states of consciousness when ingested. Chemically, DMT is similar to neurotransmitters like serotonin, influencing mood and perception. It has been used traditionally in certain cultures for spiritual or ceremonial purposes. When taken, DMT rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier, resulting in profound, immersive experiences often described as otherworldly or mystical. Due to its powerful effects, DMT is regulated in many countries and is primarily studied in scientific research contexts.
