Questions about DMT
Can you have ayahuasca without DMT?
Absolutely. In fact, it is consumed with low amounts or no DMT-containing admixtures in many Amazonian communities. This is quite common for more communal ceremonies, as the DMT-rich brews can be overwhelming for non-shamanic members.
Also, the purging element of ayahuasca holds a much higher importance in some communities, where a weakly visionary but highly emetic version of the brew is drunk in public rituals for the cleansing of the body; the brew itself is endearingly referred to as la purga.
What are the main differences between 5-MeO-DMT and DMT?
5-MeO-DMT and DMT are quite different medicines, despite their similar names. Traditional DMT (N,N-DMT) creates rich, colorful visions filled with geometric patterns, entities, and detailed realms that shamans in the Amazon have worked with for millennia. The experience typically lasts 10-20 minutes when smoked. In contrast, 5-MeO-DMT, found in Bufo alvarius toad secretions and some plants, produces an immediate dissolution of self into pure consciousness - what many describe as "becoming one with the white light." It's generally a 15-30 minute journey that feels more like experiencing pure Source energy than entering a visionary realm.
The intensity and safety profiles differ substantially. 5-MeO-DMT is considered significantly more potent, often requiring only 5-7mg compared to 20-30mg for DMT. Due to its sheer power, 5-MeO demands extremely careful administration and has a higher risk profile. Traditional DMT, while still profound, tends to be more manageable for most people and has a longer history of ceremonial use, particularly in ayahuasca brews. Source
Their roles in traditional medicine reflect this contrast. DMT remains central to various Indigenous practices, especially in South America where it's revered as a teaching medicine that shows visions and insights. 5-MeO-DMT, though used by some Indigenous groups in Central America, has a more limited traditional context and is often approached more as a pure consciousness medicine rather than a visionary teacher plant. Modern practitioners typically treat them very differently - DMT ceremonies might involve icaros (sacred songs) and last hours, while 5-MeO sessions are usually brief and conducted in near silence.
