The Spirit Molecule

"The Spirit Molecule" refers to dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain plants and the human brain. DMT produces intense, short-lived hallucinations and altered states of consciousness. It has gained attention for its potential to induce spiritual or mystical experiences, leading some to believe it plays a role in human spirituality and perception. Despite its profound effects, DMT remains a schedule I substance in many countries, meaning it is illegal to possess or use. Researchers are exploring its effects to better understand consciousness and its possible therapeutic applications.
