2-MeO-DMT
Summary
2-MeO-DMT (2-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is a rare research chemical first described in the 1960s. Human data are sparse; doses and timelines above are extrapolated from a handful of forum reports (DMT-Nexus, Reddit) and its lower affinity for 5-HT2A relative to DMT in vitro. Users consistently describe markedly milder visuals than DMT but pronounced bodily warmth, slight dissociation, and a dreamy head-space.
