5-Methoxy- N , N -dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) is a chemical compound from the tryptamine group . It acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist ( 5-HT 2 receptors ) and as a psychedelic hallucinogen .
Occurrence
5-MeO-DMT occurs naturally in the seeds and bark of Anadenanthera peregrina (Yopo). The real toad Bufo alvarius also secretes 5-MeO-DMT in large quantities. Several studies found 5-MeO-DMT in human blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid . Whether this was of endogenous origin or z. B. was ingested through food, could not be conclusively clarified.
Legal status
In the Federal Republic of Germany, 5-MeO-DMT is a non-marketable narcotic due to its listing in Appendix I of the BtMG .
