5-MeO-DMT is a very powerful Psychedelic Tryptamine . It is found in a wide variety of plant and toad species, and like its close relative DMT , it has been used as an Entheogen by South American Shamans for over 1200 years.


CHEMISTRY

5-MeO-DMT was first synthesized in 1936 , and in 1959 it was isolated as one of the psychoactive ingredients of ''Anadenanthera peregrina'' seeds used in Yopo snuff.


HISTORY

Traditionally 5-MeO-DMT has been used as a Psychedelic snuff, such as Yopo or Vilca , and may be a trace constituent of Ayahuasca when plants such as '' Diplopterys Cabrerana '' are used as an admixture. 5-MeO-DMT is also found in the venom of the Colorado River Toad (''Bufo alvarius''), although there is no direct evidence this was used as a hallucinogen until recent times.


USE AND EFFECTS

When used as a Drug in its purified form, 5-MeO-DMT is smoked, snorted, or injected and is active at a dose of as little as 2mg. 5-MeO-DMT is also active orally, when taken with an Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor , but according to numerous reports, the combination with MAOI is extremely unpleasant and has a strong bodyload. According to the researcher Jonathan Ott , 5-MeO-DMT is active orally with doses over 30mg without aid of an MAOI.

The onset of effects occurs in seconds after smoking/injecting, or minutes after insufflating, and the experience is sometimes described as similar to a Near-death Experience . Peak effects last for approximately 5-10 minutes, when smoked. When insufflated, the peak effects are considerably less intense, but last for 15-25 minutes on average.
