Dmt everything you should know Various cultures have used it for hundreds of years for rituals and religious practices. DMT is one of the active ingredients in ayahuasca, a psychedelic tea native to South America. Synthetic DMT is also made in a lab.

People use the drug recreationally for the short, powerful “trip” sometimes called a “DMT breakthrough.” Some research shows it may have benefits for mental and physical health. But it can also have side effects that may outweigh any benefits.

Dmt everything you should know

DMT can cause powerful, intense trips. In some cases, it could lead to serious or bad reactions that might require emergency medical help. If you choose to use DMT, follow these steps to stay as safe as possible: 

Educate yourself. Learn as much as you can about the drug, its effects, and the potential short and long-term health issues it can cause.

Pick a safe setting. It’s best to be in a secure, calm environment. Also, try to do it when you feel mentally stable. This will help you manage the unpredictable effects of the drug. 

Don’t do it alone. Ask a trusted friend or family member to stay near you when you try the drug. In an emergency, your trip sitter needs to be able to call 911 or get you medical help.

Don’t mix. Don’t take DMT with other drugs, recreational or prescription, or mix with alcohol. This can increase it’s negative effects.

Start slow. Take only a small amount at first to see how it effects you. Take one or two hits from a pipe or vape, or a small snort of powder, then hold off to see how it effects you. If you take more, you risk being overwhelmed by the effects. 

Be careful when smoking. Clean your pipe before use. There may be leftover DMT from a previous session, which could cause you to smoke more than you planned.

How DMT affects you depends on several things, such as:

• Your size, weight, and health status
• Whether you have taken it before or it’s your first time
• Whether you have taken any other substances at the same time
• How much you take
• The strength of the drug, which may vary from different sources
• Your environment
• Your mood when you take the drug
