'''N,N-Dipropyltryptamine''' (also known as '''Dipropyltryptamine''', '''DPT''', and '''"the Light"''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] of the [[chemical class::tryptamine]] chemical class that produces powerful, short-lived visionary [[psychedelic]] effects similar to, but often considered to be more difficult and unforgiving than those of [[DMT]] when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. It is a structural homolog of [[DMT]] that is often reported to be uniquely similar in its hallucinogenic intensity, albeit with a moderately longer duration, and a tendency to feel "sinister", "unsettling", and "~~unnatural~~" relative to DMT and other psychedelic [[tryptamines]].

DPT is commonly consumed via [[insufflation]] or [[orally]]. Many report the experience of insufflation to be very congestive and painful which, with the rapidness of onset, does not give the user much time to acclimate themselves to its powerful effects. It can also be administered [[intramuscular|intramuscularly]] or via [[vaporization]] after conversion to the freebase form, and this appears to be the preferred [[Routes of administration|route of administration]] in research settings. Smoking the freebase is reported to be the preferred route used by the "Temple of True Inner Light".{{citation needed}}

Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of DPT, and it has relatively little history of human usage. It has long been available on the [[research chemicals]] market as a legal, grey-market alternative to [[DMT]], and commercially distributed through online vendors. Due to the mentally jarring and disturbing hallucinatory states it can produce, many reports also suggest that this substance may be overly difficult to use safely for those who are not already very experienced with [[hallucinogens]]. Therefore it is highly advised to approach this unusually powerful [[psychedelic]] substance with the proper amount of precaution and [[Responsible drug use#Hallucinogens|harm reduction practices]] if one chooses to use it.
