Di-Methyl-Tryptamine, commonly referred to as "DMT" is one of the most powerful psychoactive substances known to mankind, and interestingly is endogenously produced by the human body (along with many other forms of plant and animal life). This characteristic (biosynthesis by humans) is exceptional because it is not shared by any other psychedelic substance.
 
DMT is also the active hallucinogenic compound in ayahuasca, a tea brewed from the shrub Psychotria viridis used for ritual purposes by indigenous people in the Amazon. See our ayahuasca guide for more on this psychedelic brew. Learn more at https://psychedelia.io
