I thought the Pineal gland also makes 5-Me-O, so it is another endogenous psychedelic.... no ? The pineal makes dmt, 5-Me-O, pinolene, melatonin, a whole bunch of potent molecules. And dmt is not part of our DNA - but I'm not sure what you mean. The McKenna brothers suggested that tryptamines can insert themselves into DNA ("intercalate" into the DNA helix to open it up for 'reading') But dmt is not a nucleotide like guanine, adenine etc etc that make-up DNA. I have wondered if the use of lye can make 5-Me-O from NN-dmt when extracting from MHRB...? Some experiences swim has had seem such rapid 'white outs', seeming to be like what is reported for 5-Me-O.
