DMT

Dimethyltryptamine (N,N-DMT) is found in trace amounts in the human body, though its endogenous role remains unclear. When smoked or vaporized, it produces intense experiences lasting 5-20 minutes. It is also the primary psychoactive component of ayahuasca, where MAO inhibitors extend its duration to 4-6 hours. DMT experiences are often described as involving encounters with seemingly autonomous entities or landscapes, a phenomenon that has drawn both scientific and philosophical interest.
