Although it's not as popular as LSD or psilocybin, it is a widely discussed and used psychedelic.

DMT is also present endogenously in the human body.

As always, there will be more information and links to references on TheDrugClassroom.com

Among the potential positive effects are closed and open eye visuals, spiritual or otherwise

meaningful experiences, euphoria, mood lift, and auditory hallucinations.

The negative effects can include increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, fear,

At low doses, it might provide some mood effects, such as anxiolysis and mood elevation.

These doses typically aren't very hallucinogenic, but they can lead to objects vibrating, items

becoming more colorful, and the appearance of slight geometric patterns.

More complete doses come with effects that are highly variable between users, but some

parts of the experience can be placed into typical groups.

Multiple proposals have been made regarding how to group the effects and experiences.

One commonality between them is that the lowest or initial stage of an experience contains

A step up from this is the progression to being immersed in what seems like a different

Sometimes a further peak experience of white light and euphoria is obtained, although the

immersion into another world is the most commonly discussed experience.

Depending on dose and individual response, you may only reach the initial stage.

Although you can group the effects, the actual contents of a full immersive experience differ

A full replacement of normal reality with an "alternate universe."

The universe can include visual objects and even seemingly sentient, intelligent, or powerful

entities that sometimes interact with the user.

Regardless of eyes being closed or open there is rapidly changing "kaleidoscopic" imagery.

A feeling of euphoria is often present following an initial period of anxiety.

Some users report laughter, calmness, or a feeling of joy.

Although it's possible to experience significant anxiety and fear during the entire experience.

And other users don't report any discernible feelings during the peak effects.

There's also a dissociation from the body and, when your eyes are closed in particular,

This can mean no longer feeling your body and sometimes at least a partial disconnection

Disconnecting from the "self" or your mind may include an absence of thoughts or a temporary

Lastly, another common element is that people report the experience feels as real or more

Not all of these effects appear for everyone, but they're a general outline of a full DMT

There's also a pretty typical progression of the experience with a full dose.

Initially there's a "rush" phase during which you may feel disoriented and like you're being

Your head may feel like it's intensely vibrating.

This can be accompanied by a sound, usually of a high-pitch, such as a whine.

This initial period is often filled with transient anxiety brought on by the intensity of the

The rush progresses towards a detachment or dissociation from the body and normal reality.

People sometimes remain partly connected to normal reality with their eyes open, depending

The "rush" is followed either by a full breakthrough experience or first by a brief waiting period.

When the waiting period is present, which it isn't for everyone, it may be filled with

colors and a sense that an experience is about to unfold.

Users can feel like they're moving, such as heading down a tunnel.

And the internal feeling and progression is sometimes described like that of a rollercoaster.

When it comes to the contents of a full experience, it's difficult to give a description.

As was previously noted, there are often impressive geometric patterns and incredibly bright or

There can also be non-earth landscapes and environments.

Euphoria is a common feeling, along with a sense of wonder, amazement, and confusion.

A few general categories for the type of experiences someone can have were put forth by Rick Strassman,

The first is "personal," which are experiences based around personal issues, which might

The second is "transpersonal," which are novel experiences in terms of quality and intensity

but they have some basis in the subject's previous experience.

Mystical and near-death-type experiences may be grouped in this category.

And the third is "invisible worlds," which involve encounters with autonomous, freestanding

realities seemingly inhabited by alien beings capable of interaction.

Strassman reported that around half of volunteers receiving a high dose of DMT reported an "invisible

Just to give an idea of the range of things witnessed during the experiences, people have

reported everything from "high-tech machine-like objects" to "a ballroom with crystal chandeliers"

A key component of many experiences is ineffability, or the inability to describe the effects with

Not only can people struggle to impart their experiences onto others, they themselves may

recall just a small portion of what was experienced.

This is often because there's an overwhelming amount of data in the form of feelings or

Entities are clearly an interesting part of the experience.

They don't always appear and many people use DMT without encountering them, but they are

People come back describing the entities as elves, spirits, gods, dwarfs, reptiles, insects,

mantises, stick figures, and sometimes just an unseen but felt "presence."

Those descriptions typically aren't meant to be precise.

For example, if someone describes "elves," that's largely due to it being the best available
