N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT): The Psychedelic Tryptamine
DMT is a naturally occurring tryptamine compound found in various plant and animal species, including trace amounts in the human brain where its biological role remains unclear. This substance typically appears as golden or white crystals with yellowish tinges and can be extracted from sources like Mimosa hostilis plants or Bufo alvarius toad secretions.
With a long history of ceremonial use among indigenous traditions, DMT has gained global attention in recent years, particularly due to its association with Amazonian shamanic practices. Some researchers, like Dr. Rick Strassman, have theorized about its potential neurological significance, coining the term “the spirit molecule” to describe its unique properties.
