What is DMT?

N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a hallucinogenic substance that can produce psychedelic effects. It occurs naturally in the human body, plants, and animals. Users may experience quick, intense psychedelic effects after ingesting DMT.

DMT for recreational use may be synthetic (human-made) or derived from plants. Synthetic DMT is often found in the form of a white powder. Naturally-derived DMT (known as ayahuasca) may come in the form of a tea brewed from the leaves of specific plants. People may also use DMT vape pens to ingest this powerful psychedelic drug.

DMT is illegal and unregulated in the United States. DMT can cause serious, dangerous side effects. If you or someone you love struggles with DMT abuse, seek treatment right away. Contact the Alamo Behavioral Health specialists to learn about our programs or schedule an intake appointment.

The Effects and Risks of DMT Carts

DMT carts are vape pen cartridges containing DMT. DMT abuse can cause intense, short-lived hallucinogenic effects. The effects may begin quickly and last around 30 minutes.

Some of the short-term effects of DMT include:

• Visual and auditory hallucinations
• Dilated pupils
• Elevated blood pressure
• Seizures
• Agitation
• Loss of coordination
• Increased heart rate
• Nausea

People who use DMT may experience psychedelic experiences. They may experience altered states of awareness. Some users report having hallucinations or “visions” that feel spiritually meaningful. Some people refer to DMT as the “spirit molecule” because of these experiences.

However, DMT abuse can put people at serious risk of dangerous side effects. Using hallucinogenic drugs like DMT can worsen the symptoms of mental health conditions. They may lose track of time or their surroundings. They might act out or respond to hallucinations in ways that harm themselves or others.

DMT carts and vapes are illegal and unregulated in the United States. It is almost impossible to verify the dosage or safety of these products.

There is not a lot of research about the effects of vaporized DMT. However, researchers understand that dimethyltryptamine is a powerful hallucinogen. It is known to cause intense psychological effects and may worsen existing mental health issues.

It is important to note that consuming DMT in any way has the potential for harm. Contact the Alamo Behavioral Health specialists to learn about DMT abuse or to schedule an intake into one of our programs.
