DPT

This article is a stub. As such, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it.

N,N-Dipropyltryptamine (DPT, also known as "The Light") is a psychedelic drug belonging to the tryptamine family, first reported in 1973. DPT is an intense synthetic hallucinogenic drug. DPT is the primary sacrament for "Temple of the True Inner Light" a Christian off shoot organization that believes in psychedelics and primarily DPT as the true flesh of God.

DPT is most commonly consumed via insuffalation or Intramuscular injection. Some report the experience of insuffalation being very painful, which with the rapidness of onset, does not give the user much time to acclimate themselves to the effects as they come on strongly.

Chemistry

General formula of a tryptamine molecule.

Pharmacology

Main article: Serotonergic psychedelic

DPT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

Subjective effects

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

Physical effects

The physical effects of DPT can often be jarring. At light to moderate doses there is often a slight sense of anesthetization and relaxation. As the dose increases, perceptions of heart rate increase, body tremors, and loss of muscle control are often reported.

• Spontaneous tactile sensations -The body trip of DPT is generally more prominent of that the better known DMT. There is often the sensation of limbs feelings disconnected from the body, a force pinning the body to the surface on which they lay and the body tremors which can often make the user feel aware of but not in control of their body.

DPT can range from strong euphoria and erotiscism, to nausea and dysphoria even within the same trip.

• Changes in gravity - At higher dosages physical feelings of moving through spaces at quick speeds or being pinned down are common.

Cognitive effects

DPT tends to make the user feel slightly anesthetized but unlike disassociatives still aware. At low to moderate doses much of the cognitive effects are not too dissimilar from LSD or Mushrooms. At higher does, the mind tends to pull personal experiences into abstract phenomenal worlds, or bizzare hallucinatory and/or spiritual images to what the mind gravitates too. Most of the cognitive assimilation of the DPT trip comes on the latter half of the trip as the first half the mind is usually overwhelmed by the sensorium that comes across the mind.

• Enhancement of current mind state
• Removal of cultural filter
• Feelings of fascination, importance and awe
• Rejuvination
• Direct communication with the subconscious
• Ego suppression, loss and death
• States of unity and interconnectedness

Visual effects

At lower to moderate doses DPT visuals tend to resemble more of an LSD trip, however as the dose increases, DPT visuals can approach that of DMT in complexity and structure.

Many visuals between DPT and DMT are similar in quality and complexity but with DPT the visuals often tend to take on a more sinister tone. The anesthetized quality DPT elicits often makes the visuals appear more surreal and less 'real' then DMT visuals, however the experience can also be more disorienting due to this factor.

The visuals of a High Dose DPT trip have the refined visual sheen, structure and gloss of being seemingly 'more real than reality.' Patterns often replicate into spiraling patterns that are fractal in structure and go on as far as the field of vision can see, often giving way to new sets of patterns. Sometimes the visuals on DPT are more pronounced then others, yet on less intricate visuals trips there is often a sense of being thrust into and through and all encompassing void where sense of direction is significantly altered, often causing the sensations of floating or falling.

The hallucinatory phenomena of DPT can range from distortions of objects within a room to complex entities such as deities, bats, entities, orbs, etc. which often replicate themselves in a fractal manner or transform into some other form in the mind's eye. Unlike DMT, where visuals often seem they practically could be composed no other way, DPT visuals are often less deterministic and there is often a sense of 'scene changes' where the quality and complexity of the scene can transfer to something completely different. Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head comments on the entities of DPT that "They often appear as if they want to be admired."At other times there seemed to be bat or butterfly-winged creatures long and quivering antennaes, velvet coats and emerald eyes, stiletto talonsrising into otherworldly skies, wandering futuristic cities. I I had an impression of tremendous vanity. I was being used as a mirror for the DPT beings to admire themselves."

Progressive stages

Taking off

The first step of a DPT trip is the come up that leads onto breaking through. This is something that seems to have at least a few different ways of presenting itself to the user as they start to snort or inject DPT.

The first thing that a person notices is an extremely distinct set of visual enhancements and most notably an increase in visual acuity and colour intensity.

This is followed by a sudden onset of high level 3 geometry, the body high and the feeling of your body being pleasantly tugged in all directions at once from the inside.

Coming down

The final stage is experienced as the sensation of being pulled further and further away from the scenario in which one was placed as the entities often wave goodbye and encourage one to come back when you next get the chance.

Toxicity and Harm Potential

DPT is not known to cause brain damage, and has extremely low toxicity relative to dose. However via Intramuscular injection there has been reports of an individual passing out at 130 mgs.
