Summary
AMT is a long-acting psychedelic stimulant with significant body load and powerful nausea during onset. At higher doses (approaching 150 mg), it acts as a reversible MAOI, greatly increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic substances. Effects can take over 2 hours to fully develop; redosing prematurely has led to dangerous overdoses. The drug shows wide variation in effects between individuals, with some reporting overwhelming experiences at 40 mg while others consume much higher doses. AMT is scheduled as a controlled substance in many countries, including the United States (Schedule I since 2004) and the United Kingdom (Class A since 2015).
Perspectives
“I got a strong psychedelic experience that lasted about twelve hours, but an unexpected relief from my chronic depression that lasted for four days.”
“If it was still accessible I would probably sample this again, but under significantly different conditions.”
