Clinical use research
Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an endogenous ligand of sigma-1 receptors (Sig-1Rs), acts against systemic hypoxia. Research demonstrates DMT reduces the number of apoptotic and ferroptotic cells in mammalian forebrain and supports astrocyte survival in an ischemic environment.
How is it taken?
Crystal DMT can be injected, smoked or snorted.
Smoking DMT
Because DMT is a very harsh and potent drug to smoke, it is sometimes mixed with herbs – such as ayahuasca – to make changa. Each batch of changa is different depending on what herbs are used, so strengths vary.
Drinking DMT
The South American plant, chacruna, contains DMT and is sometimes mixed with the ayahuasca plant to make the shamanic brew, ayahuasca.
Injecting DMT
DMT can be prepared for injecting, and this is particularly dangerous.
Snorting DMT
DMT can be crushed up into a powder and snorted.
Physical health risks of crystal dmt
Lots of indigenous peoples in South America use drinks or food that contain DMT as part of their culture – the best known example is ayahuasca ceremonies.
For this reason, some people think DMT is spiritual and therefore safe, but it is still a chemical hallucinogen.
This means it can:
- raise your blood pressure
- raise your heart rate
- be harmful to those with a pre-existing heart condition
- cause nausea and vomiting, as a result of intoxication
Mental health risks of crystal dmt
DMT can produce very unpredictable – and sometimes very frightening – effects, which feed off a person’s imagination.
If panic sets in, the experience can be scary and confusing.
Taking a hallucinogen like DMT can:
- Lead to flashbacks, this is when part of the trip is subsequently relived after the original experience.
- Be especially serious for someone with a history of mental health problems. It could trigger a problem for someone who didn’t know they had a predisposition to mental health problems.
- Lead to the user harming him or herself if the trip goes bad – so it’s probably best to avoid taking DMT if you’re in a bad or anxious mood.
- Lead to unpleasant and emotional effects that could last for days after taking the drug.
