Why is DMT so rare in comparison to other psychedelics?

[Chillest-]

Just curious as it is so easy to synthesise. I have many friends in my circle who can get access to Lucy, all kinds of mushrooms and 2cb but never come across DMT.

I've done changa once and it was incredible, ever since I've been waiting for the opportunity to be able to try my hand at making it. Now I understand that it is a pretty simple process I'm just curious as to why DMT is not more readily available on the street.

Because probably DMT is less of a party drug than LSD, shrooms or 2CB. It's more of a medicine than recreational substance, hence less interest from the regular high seekers.

Keep in mind you're not "making" DMT, you're simply extracting it. Chemical synthesis of DMT is a whole different level of challenge compared to pulling it out of plants.

DMT is probly less rare than 2cb around here. Not that 2cb is rare these days.

As a friend of mine likes to say, there's no such thing as a recreational DMT trip. He's joking of course, but DMT and other similar molecules relative to experience can get real. Most people aren't trying to really soul search, but touch and have glimpse of transcendental states, and have a good time. Not look at shadow in the most intense way possible. Unlike many other psychedelics, DMT is a crap shoot, especially over time, you don't know what you're going to get.

Honestly I think many ppl in harm reduction will attest that despite how much DMT use there may be at festivals etc..it’s more LSD and shrooms etc that is really getting people. I would put oral DMT in that category as well but most people don’t ever do that. Vaped DMT is just too short to send as many ppl into a crisis the way a 12 hour acid trip can. On top of that it just seems like everyone is smoking DMT pens, while socializing and dancing with a beer in the other hand. So many people I meat at raves etc tell me that they’re favourite thing to do is hit a DMT while dancing.

It really is a good option for recreational use though IMO, when the dose is controlled and kept low enough. Its probly the best psychedelic for a person to begin with as well. When people say they don’t feel ready for DMT they really mean they aren’t ready for a high dose tryptamine. It’s just so easy to inhale too much but it’s also really easy to just chill and vape a few mg.
