DMT

Vial of crystalline DMT

Dimethyltryptamine is an endogenous, yet illegal, psychedelic compound found in almost all plants and even the human body. Famously utilized for thousands of years by the indigenous people of South America, it can either be brewed into a drinkable mixture called ayahuasca or extracted into crystal form and smoked.

It is believed to be produced by the Pineal Gland in the human mind, and may also be released during birth, death, and the REM stages of sleep. The brain is able to process DMT extremely quickly and thoroughly, suggesting the chemical may play a major role in the development of self-awareness.

DMT vaporizes at a very low temperature which is the essential component to smoking it correctly. It can be layered into a bowl of cannabis or melted into a plug of pre-burned steel wool. In either case, one should be careful not to let the flame touch the substance because heat can and will destroy it's potency. Long, slow inhalations of thick vapor must be taken until it is no longer possible to do so. The effects will effortlessly materialize with a strange increasing tone that builds until the user is completely absolved of any earthly realities.

The experience of 'breaking through' on DMT includes an infinite range of sensations, beautiful and even impossible sights. Jaw dropping awe is instilled as the user launches to a higher realm of consciousness in which mere human logic cannot begin to comprehend the influx of knowledge. As the user returns and once again becomes aware of physical reality, all visual stimuli is intensely interesting and a strong sense of refreshment, enlightenment, and appreciation envelopes the mind. An average journey lasts around 15 minutes, with enjoyable after-effects sometimes prevailing for as long as an hour.

Physical side effects include raised blood pressure and extremely serene breathing. Because DMT already exists in the human body, it is extraordinarily safe, perhaps even the most benign drug know to man. This is in sharp contrast with the fact that it is the single most powerful psychedelic compound ever ingested by the human race.
