Let's get a couple of things straight:
- There is only one DMT, that is what is N,N-DMT is called for short. It is a pure compound, not a mixture, and if the quality is pure, everyone has exactly the same stuff.
- There are DMT analogues, of which the most similar in duration and action are 5-MeO-DMT and 5-Fluoro-DMT. They have simple substitutions meaning they are of the most basic variations of DMT. All of them are pure chemical compounds but DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are sometimes found as a purified plant extract that often contains a few other alkaloids as well. So DMT itself is one substance, but it certainly
can be mixed.
Though 5-MeO-DMT is truthfully just as simple a substitution as 4-HO-DMT which is psilocin from mushrooms. Only that works for a lot longer than DMT's 10-15 mins for the peak.
- Besides the closest family relatives of N,N-DMT I just mentioned there are quite a few others that are family in the tryptamine class as well.
Look at the table here
Variations on DMT that have chemical groups attached to the molecule, substituted analogues, are: 4-HO-DMT, 4-AcO-DMT (and 4-PrO-DMT) for the 4-position.
5-MeO-DMT, 5-HO-DMT (5-AcO-DMT......?) for the 5-position.
DET, DPT, DiPT, etc for different N-substitutions.
normal N,N-DMT is dimethyltryptamine meaning there is 2 (di) methylgroups both on the N (N,N).
But if you put ethyl, propyl or isopropyl chains on the N and vary them you get a lot of combinations.
Now imagine all variations on variations, like 4-HO on a DET gives 4-HO-DET. There are many combinations of substitutions.
Basics on tryptamines: 5-MeO- tryptamines tend to have an energetic bodyload and I have to agree to what I have heard others say, that they can be alien and reptilian somehow.
4-HO- tryptamines are not that stable to shelve, but I think they are very nice, a clear feeling with a powerful capacity for psychedelia. I'm getting into this 4-HO class!!!, today with 4-HO-DiPT, and 4-HO-MET and 4-HO-MiPT also coming up soon...
I love DMT but find DPT to be a little too rough around the edges but nevertheless a wonderfully profound feeling.
Is this going to be about tryptamines in general or do you wanna go a particular way with it?
