Overview

5-MeO-DMT, or 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a powerful psychedelic substance found in certain plants and in the venom of the Bufo alvarius toad. It is chemically similar to DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) but is known for its unique and intense effects on consciousness.

When consumed, 5-MeO-DMT can induce profound mystical and ego-dissolving experiences, often described as “ego death.” Users may report feelings of unity with the universe, intense visual and auditory hallucinations, and a sense of timelessness. The effects of 5-MeO-DMT are typically shorter in duration compared to other psychedelics, lasting around 15-30 minutes.

Due to its potency, 5-MeO-DMT should be approached with caution and in a safe setting, preferably under the supervision of an experienced guide. Like other psychedelics, 5-MeO-DMT can have both positive and challenging experiences, and it is essential to be well-informed and prepared before using it.
