It is if it's assumed that it does have a definite purpose in the body, but it's looking increasingly more like it likely doesn't, in my opinion anyway. And it's in the body in very small amounts, too. I'm not saying that it definitely does nothing, but there's a reason that no one is researching it. My current guess is that there's nothing particularly significant about it compared to other psychedelics, it just happens to be a subjectively strong one that's produced in the body on a technicality. The same is true of 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin because they're all chemically similar to our neurotransmitters and metabolism is a complex process.
