CANDY FOR THE MIND<br />
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine and 5-Methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine are naturally<br />
occurring <strong>psychedelic</strong>s found in a variety of plants around the world,<br />
several of which are native to the Amazon region. <strong>The</strong>se alkaloids, which<br />
are usually found together in the plants, are also found in the human brain as<br />
neurotransmitters, as well as m our blood, urine, and spinal fluid. 1 <strong>DM</strong>T is<br />
produced in the human pineal gland which is correlated to the "3rd eye" or<br />
Ajna Chakra in the Indian spiritual system. Meditative states attained by<br />
yogis who concentrate on the 3rd eye may be the result of increased <strong>DM</strong>T<br />
levels. <strong>DM</strong>T is produced in heavy concentration in the glands of some<br />
tropical toads, such as Bufo Alvarius. Some people actually make a practice<br />
of squeezing out this venom, then drying and smoking it to get high.<br />
N,N-<strong>DM</strong>T and 5-MeO-<strong>DM</strong>T are also manufactured synthetically, as<br />
separate compounds, and sold on the underground market And although it's<br />
quite rare in the <strong>psychedelic</strong> underground, synthetic <strong>DM</strong>T is used much<br />
more often than <strong>DM</strong>T from natural sources.<br />
HISTORY:<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several plant sources of <strong>DM</strong>T, many of which have uniquely<br />
different histories of use. Normally <strong>DM</strong>T is not active if taken orally. It<br />
must be either smoked or snorted for any psychoactive effects. To obtain a<br />
full strength <strong>DM</strong>T experience, one must take the entire dose into their<br />
system in a short period of time.<br />
Two sources of <strong>DM</strong>T, Anadenanthera peregrina and Virola theiodora, are<br />
made into snuffs, commonly known as Yopo and Epena, respectively. <strong>The</strong><br />
natives of the Amazon region have ingenious methods for getting a good<br />
dose of these snuffs. One method calls for a "snorter" through which they<br />
inhale with both nostrils at once. <strong>The</strong> most effective is a snorting device for<br />
two people. This device has a tube going from the mouth of each person to<br />
the nose of the other Rather than snorting, once the device is loaded, one<br />
person "blows'; the <strong>DM</strong>T snuff into the other's nose, getting a large amount
