Thread: Do you think DMT causes LD's?

I also heard on one of those videos that DMT is two steps away from being a molecule that is almost everywhere in living species, plants, animals, humans. Maybe it's the secret to life ;p

You can extract DMT from many different plants. Most living things contain DMT, but when it comes to extracting it, it all depends on how much of it is in the plant. Canary reed grass and certain barks are commonly used to extract it. You have to smoke it. If you ingest it without first taking an MAOI, the monoamine oxidase in your stomach would just break it down before it (the DMT) ever did anything. Smoking it is the most common way that people "cross over" (getting in that dream-like state) because smoking things has a much more intense (but quicker ending) effect when it comes to anything you do. Ingesting it would mean a much longer trip but possibly not crossing over, and having to take more to experience the same effect.

If smoked it lasts, in real time, about 10 to 20 minutes. However, many people I know that have used it say that it felt as though they were crossed over for what felt like upwards of 2 weeks. You just happen to wake up and it's only 15 minutes later once it's all over.

Now to the actual subject matter of this thread. Is it the same as a lucid dream? I wouldn't put it in those words, but in the sense that you go into a trance-like state, hallucinate a world entirely in your mind, and it is very vivid and you have control of yourself, then yes. But I'm sure the experience is much different than that of any dream. Until I experience it myself (which I hope I do sometime in my life) I couldn't really say, though.
