N,N-dimethyltryptamine

N,N-dimethyltryptamine
A psychotomimetic agent present in several South American snuffs ( e.g., cohoba snuff) and in the leaves of Prestonia amazonica (family Apocynaceae). Effects are similar to those of LSD, but with more rapid onset, greater likelihood of a panic reaction, and a shorter duration (1 to 2 hours, “businessman's trip”); it produces pronounced autonomic effects, including a marked increase in blood pressure.
