DMT is a simple tryptamine compound (di-methyl-tryptamine), that inducesintense, but brief visual hallucinations. Synthesized in its pure form,DMT is smoked in a special pipe. it's tricky to do and if you dont get thevapors just right, it wont work. while the effects are most interestingand impressive, the stuff smells and tastes like mothballs. smoking it islike inhaling the fumes from burning plastic.... but if you can get overthat, youll be ok....the DMT and other tryptamine containing plants are largely native toSouth America and have been used by tribal shamans in religious, ritualisticand healing ceremonies for centuries. the most famous DMT plant is theAYAHUASCA vine, which along with various other plants is used in nativeceremonies to make a vile tasting, but superpotent psychedelic brew knownas 'yage'. I'm fairly certain that the ayahuasca vine itself is legal togrow in the states, you just cant ingest it (same status as the san pedrocactus). however, growing the vine for a DMT trip is not going to get youanywhere, since you either need to know how to extract the DMT from the vine(and separate it from all the other chemicals in the vine) OR if you knowhow to make the yage brew and have all the other plant ingredients as well.trying to track down pure DMT is probably your best bet, however, it's notvery widley available.... Below is the actual post where I got all the info on DMT....______________ From Lunatic Labs _______________________(213)655-0691yes, DMT is still around, tho it's very very rare. it's not a popular streetdrug simply because it's not a popular drug. it's relatively (compared to LSDand MDMA, for instance) easy to make, but it's a very powerful trip and one of an ultra-psychedelic nature. my guess is that most people (even mostadventurous drug users) do not like it.of course DMT in its natural form, has been around in South America forever andis being used in ritual, visionary and shamanic ceremonies by many native(south) american tribes. the most common form of DMT ingestion among nativeindians is to use the ayahuasca vine, which is rich in di-methyl-triptamine(along with a bunch of other plant alkaloids). the vine is used, in conjunctionwith other plant materials, some psychoactive, some not (but all loaded withplant alkaloids than can all be toxic, inactive or psychedelic) in a brewcalled 'yage' (pronounced "yaah-heh"). this brew has a consistency, taste andcolor that is repulsive to most westerners and is easily ingested only by thosewith teflon-coated stomachs. however, from all accounts Ive heard, it's onehell of a trip. what people in this country do w/ the pure DMT (sit around andwatch movies on the inside of your eye lids for 15 minutes) is probablyamateurish child's play compared to the mystic, shamanic and healing powers of the substance, as they have been used and applied by south american indianssince the beginning of history.I think the point I was trying to make is that the reason DMT isnt all thatpopular in our culture is that most people have no idea how to unlock its mostpowerfully mind-altering aspects. sure anyone can get off on a short 15-miuntetrip of seeing fun colors and patterns and things, but it takes a deeplyspiritual and ritual approach to the drug's usage as well as faith and belief in the spirit-nature and interconnecteness of humans with all Nature to reallyget your expectation's worth out of DMT. Ive talked to a number of westernerswho have travelled to S. America and lived with various indian cultures in anattempt to gain insight into that sort of spiritual-religious knowledge and it
