🌿 DMT Research Overview and Observational Notes on Possible Plant-Based Effects Introduction Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring compound found in several plant species around the world, including certain Acacia and Mimosa trees. Scientific research shows that DMT is a strong psychedelic substance that affects perception, mood, and awareness by acting mainly on serotonin receptors in the brain.
