DMT results in powerful visuals and intense psychedelic mental effects when smoked, injected, snorted, or taken orally (with an MAOI such as [[Harmala alkaloids#Harmaline|Harmaline]]). When smoked, DMT is a powerful visionary psychedelic that produces short acting effects. When taken in combination with an [[MAOI]] or [[RIMA]], it becomes orally active. DMT is present in over 65 species of plants. It has been used traditionally in South America in [[ayahuasca]] brews since at least around the year 1500 and archaeological evidence suggests its use in snuffs (such as [[yopo]], cohoba, or parica) since 2080 BCE. <ref>Erowid - DMT Basics | http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt_basics.shtml</ref> | DMT results in powerful visuals and intense psychedelic mental effects when smoked, injected, snorted, or taken orally (with an MAOI such as [[Harmala alkaloids#Harmaline|Harmaline]]).
