DMT

= Dimethyltryptamine =

DMT was first synthesized in 1931 by Canadian chemist Richard Manske (1901–1977). DMT occurs naturally in numerous species of plants, becoming introduced to the brain at birth, death, and during dreams. The concentration of natural DMT released by an individuals brain has been linked inconclusively to the prevelence of spiritual experiences (even hallucinatory ones) the indiviual experiences throughout their lifetime. DMT is a very strong hallucinogen, with average psychedelic trips lasting about 15 minutes. DMT is often referred to as the "spirit molecule" because it gives the user an out of body experience. When DMT is inhaled or consumed, depending on the dose, its subjective effects can range from short-lived milder psychedelic states to powerful immersive experiences, including a total loss of connection to conventional reality, which may be so extreme that it becomes ineffable. Some religions praise the molecule for it's hallucinogenic effects due to the "meaningfulness" of the out of body experiences. = = = =
