Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) – The Businessman’s Trip Straight to Hell

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is another popular psychedelic. Use of this plant-based substance can be traced back thousands of years in shamanic communities that use the stuff for religious practices and spiritual rituals. DMT is the active ingredient in Ayahuasca, a South American brewed tea used in spiritual ceremonies.

Also referred to as dmitri, the spirit molecule, or the businessman’s trip, DMT packs a powerful punch. Although not typically found in the United States, more and more DMT is being smuggled into the country from places like Bolivia, Columbia, and Mexico. It is becoming popular among teenagers, especially those in California.

Although you might think Dmitri as a harmless substance because it grows naturally from a plant, think about it. Cocaine is a plant. And cocaine causes heart attacks. When not properly dosed, and in extreme cases, DMT can cause seizure, heart attack, and coma. DMT can also have an adverse reaction with certain medications and can lead to other severe medical complications. Additionally, Dmitri can cause severe problems for those who have mental disorders like schizophrenia, anxiety, or bi-polar disorder.

It is important to note that DMT is not your grandma’s psychedelic. This is hardcore stuff that produces very intense hallucinations. Many people go on a businessman’s trip and say they thought they were going to lose their minds. They thought they were in hell, surrounded by demons. They thought there were spiders crawling all over them and they just wanted it to stop. One man even reported breaking his back jumping off his rooftop to get away from the aliens that were chasing him.

But, keep in mind…. Just like with any psychedelic trip, once you start DMT, you’re committed. You can’t turn off a bad trip. You just have to ride it out until it is finished. All terrifying eight hours or so. Having fun yet?
