DMT
The Spirit Molucule
DMT is a potent modulator of conscious states. It is endogenous in plants and animals. Researchers found that small amounts of DMT ease anxiety, and is being trialled as a potential cure for depression for the first time.
It’s been established we make DMT but how? It begins with the amino acid Tryptophan, which is also the building block of serotonin. There are many arguments as to why we make DMT, but some researchers believe it has to do with our experience of waking reality.
