One significant form of DMT known as 5-MeO-DMT, is found in most plant species, more commonly discovered in the venom of the Bufo Alvarius toad. 5-MeO-DMT is by far one of the most lethal forms of DMT, with effects that are strong and heavily dissociative. The FDA just approved ketamine for a nasal anti-depressive treatment, and other world leaders are opening their minds to the idea of using psychedelic compounds for clinical uses. However, DMT is very understudied other than the fact that it has the potential to trigger near-death experiences or mystical/ spiritual trips. A famous study conducted by a team of Brazilian scientists in 2017, examined the effects of 5-MeO-DMT on lab-grown mini-brains and discovered that the drug affected the wiring of 1,000 different proteins, many involved with learning, memory and the formation of new synapses. The conclusion from that study proved its potential as an anti-depressant. The recent study at Johns Hopkins studied extensive reports from a group of 5-MeO-DMT users that have been exploring with this unique psychedelic for over a decade. The group was first formed in 2007, just four years before 5-MeO-DMT was labeled as a schedule one controlled drug in the United States. |
