Summary
Naturally occurs in marine sponges (Smenospongia aurea, Verongula rigida) and in the skin of the Caribbean reef toad. In rodent studies it produced antidepressant-like and anxiolytic behaviors at non-stimulant doses and acted as a 5-HT1A partial agonist while showing little psychedelic activity, which may explain its unusually sedating, dreamy character compared with DMT. Very sparse human data; user reports describe warm body load, closed-eye visuals, and pronounced relaxation rather than intense hallucinations.

Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Rapid acute tolerance like other serotonergic psychedelics is plausible, with most sensitivity returning over ~1 week; evidence in humans is anecdotal. Cross‑tolerance across classic psychedelics is well‑described (LSD↔psilocybin), but specific data for 5‑Br‑DMT are lacking. Treat intervals of ≥7 days as a conservative baseline.

Tryptamines The Small & Handy 5-Bromo-DMT Thread
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Bromo-DMT Seems to be around again, and there's no thread about it in PD I think, so here we go! Apparently more mushroom-like than DMT. Not sure if orally active.
