2-Me-DMT
Aliases: 2,n,n-tmt, 2,n,n-trimethyltryptamine
Summary
2-Me-DMT is a rarely studied Shulgin-synthesized tryptamine notable for pronounced auditory distortion and pitch-shifting effects beginning at moderate doses. Unlike classical psychedelics, it produces minimal to no visual effects but instead causes tactile enhancement and sexual stimulation. The 2-methyl substitution blocks MAO metabolism allowing oral activity, but also dramatically reduces affinity for 5-HT2A receptors responsible for classical psychedelic effects.
Perspectives
“There was tingling everywhere but it faded after about three hours. Nothing else.”

- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Mild auditory effects with low visuals, headspace, and body load
Moderate euphoria with mild anxiety/jitters, low stimulation
Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Pattern modeled on classic serotonergic psychedelics: rapid tolerance accrual after a full experience and decay over 1β2 weeks. Evidence is indirect (TIHKAL, general psychedelic literature) rather than 2-Me-DMTβspecific.
