Naturally occurs in marine sponges (Smenospongia aurea, Verongula rigida) and in the skin of the Caribbean reef toad. In rodent studies it produced antidepressant-like and anxiolytic behaviors at non-stimulant doses and acted as a 5-HT1A partial agonist while showing little psychedelic activity, which may explain its unusually sedating, dreamy character compared with DMT. Very sparse human data; user reports describe warm body load, closed-eye visuals, and pronounced relaxation rather than intense hallucinations. Because brominated tryptamines are virtually unresearched in humans, start with allergy tests (less than 2 mg inhaled) and use a sitter.
