Despite overwhelming evidence suggesting a low likelihood of abuse and lack of long term harm from non-regular use, most are deemed dangerous by the government. The US Army once gave LSD(lysergic acid diethylamide) to someone unaware and the person ended up jumping out of a window. The US government deems that dangerous. However there are drugs that are legal. For example Salvia, Blue Lotus, and a bunch of drugs found in some cactus are legal in the US for the most part. If you get into these legal drugs make sure that they are legal where you live, laws can vary from state to state in the US. If you disagree with laws then do all you can to get them changed, There are other people that think the same thing.

Is possession of endogenous DMT illegal in the US?

The DEA usually does not limit, control, or prohibit the possession of certain animals or plants that contain endogenous, controlled compounds unless they are specifically prepared for use (i.e.- dried, cut, packaged, pulverized, etc). Examples of this are: Psilocybin and Psilocin found in Psilocybe mushrooms, LSA and related amides found in Morning Glories and similar plant species, and 5-methoxy-DMT, 5-OH-DMT (bufotenin), and N,N-DMT, some of which are found in mammals (including humans), plants, toads and certain types of fish. Consequently, preparations used by South American natives like ayahuasca brews and yopo, vilca, and virola snuffs (which contain either DMT and/or all or some of the DMT related compounds mentioned above) are illegal since they are processed for human consumption. Note that the term "processed for human consumption" could apply to merely crushing virola bark into a powder, the rationale being that pulverizing the bark means it is being prepared for insufflation. Conversely, the plant species these snuffs are derived from are not illegal if they are possessed in their natural state. In some cases the DEA has scheduled specific plant species b/c they contain certain alkaloids or terpenoids that are perceived as dangerous. This makes possessing or growing them strictly prohibited, even if one of these plants happen to grow wild on an individual's property. Examples of this are- the Cannabis' species, the Opium Poppy (although certain species like the California Poppy aren't illegal even though they contain similar alkaloids), Iboga, and the Coca plant.


Is DMT legal anywhere in Europe?

Just a guess: No. However it (along with all drugs) is decriminalized in DMT, so although it is not legal, possession of a personal amount is not criminal and will not result in jail time or a fine, it will just be confiscated.

How do you produce DMT?

The pineal gland produces DMT naturally, most probably by doubly methylating thyptophan, a naturally occurring amino acid. Plants probably do it the same way as well. WikiAnswers does not promote illegal acts, so we can't tell you how to extract or isolate it.

Is dmt legal in the US?

Depends on which country you are in, in most western countries, following the US model, it is very illegal, on par with heroin, although the substance in itself poses no physical danger, is very safe, and in most cases(as with most benign hallucinogens), induces positive life changes. It is on the other hand legal for religious purposes for some churches in the US, Brazil, and wierdly enough it is legal in the Vatican state, which also houses plenty of pinecone artwork which symbolizes the pineal gland, which is thought to be the gland which produces endogenous DMT.

Can Marijuana be laced with DMT?

Yes, marijuana can be laced with DMT. DMT can be made stable in a powdered form, at which point you can put it into a marijuana cigarette or whatever you use to get high. HOWEVER... The effects of DMT are so much stronger than the effects of marijuana that you wouldn't even notice the pot. DMT is an extremely potent drug. Marijuana CAN be laced with DMT, but it is an unnecessary and wasteful practice.
