Overview

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a natural psychedelic compound, often found in plants such as those used for Amazonian ayahuasca brews. Depending on how it’s taken, it can last up to 30 minutes or, if taken orally with an MAOI inhibitor, several hours.

Commentary

I once attended a Recovery Dharma meeting where we tried a form of breathwork that felt at first like hyperventilating, but the facilitator told us it would lead to a release of natural DMT. I wrote about this in a dedicated section in Case Seventeen.
