DMT is a naturally occurring psychedelic of the tryptamine class, found widely throughout the plant and animal kingdoms, including in trace amounts in humans. Richard Manske first synthesized it in 1931, and South American entheogenic traditions have used it for millennia. When vaporized, DMT produces an exceptionally intense but brief psychedelic experience. It can also be taken orally alongside a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, as in traditional ayahuasca preparations.
