5-MeO-DMT
5-MeO-DMT (pronounced: five-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine) is a Psychedelic drug of the Tryptamine class. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and a single Psychoactive toad species, the Colorado River toad.
Etymology
The term "5-MeO-DMT" comes from its chemical structure. "5-MeO" stands for 5-methoxy, indicating the presence of a methoxy group attached to the 5th carbon of the compound's indole ring. "DMT" stands for dimethyltryptamine, a common structure found in a variety of Psychedelic substances.
Pharmacology
5-MeO-DMT is a Serotonin receptor agonist, which means it works by activating these receptors in the brain. It is particularly potent at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is thought to be the primary target of many psychedelic drugs.
Effects
The effects of 5-MeO-DMT can be intense and are often described as being more powerful than those of DMT. They can include visual and auditory hallucinations, a sense of euphoria, altered perception of time and space, and in some cases, profound life-changing spiritual experiences.
