'''N,N-Dipropyltryptamine''' (also known as '''Dipropyltryptamine''', '''DPT''', and '''"The Light"''') is a lesser-known [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::tryptamine]] class. It is closely related to [[DMT]] and is reported to be uniquely similar in its hallucinogenic intensity, albeit with a moderately longer duration and greater unpredictability 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. Smoking the freebase is reported to be the preferred route used by the "Temple of True Inner Light".{{citation needed}}
