The interest in psychedelics is growing rapidly, with people not only wondering about them individually, but also how they compare to one another.
What can be said when comparing ayahuasca vs. DMT? How do they differ from one another, if at all?
What Is DMT?
DMT, fully named N, N-dimethyltryptamine, and sometimes called Dimitri or fantasia, is a hallucinogenic drug that falls under the tryptamine family of psychedelics.
DMT is categorized as Schedule I controlled substance in the U.S., which means that it’s illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute.
What Is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca has been a sacred drink for many Amazonian tribes for thousands of years.
Its journey into the psychedelic world began when scientists discovered its impressive molecular structure. Its main part is DMT, which comes from admixture plants, like Psychotria viridis.
They Are Different In Form
Ayahuasca comes in the form of a drink, a brew or tea. It comes with strict supervision from a shaman who brews it and performs a spiritual ceremony.
On the other hand, synthetic DMT comes in the form of a white, crystallized powder. It can then be injected, vaporized, snorted, or smoked.
Usually, people take it as a party drug that enhances their experience with visual distortions and feeling outside their bodies.
