Other than being harsh on the lungs, either changa or fb. My knowledge doesn't consist of much of anthing else, on the topic of being harmful to your body.
Psychologically I imagine DMT could be dangerous if the wrong individual smoked it. It's certainly not a party drug, and it's for those willing to accept what's to come.

But do you know of any other potential harmful side effects/lethal doses of DMT?

I do believe, there is no possible lethal dose..unless injected or drank?

it shouldn't be harsh on the lungs, if it is you either have contaminated product or you're burning it.

Smoke->Lungs = Bad (changa) So, it's "More harmful than breathing regular air"

Vapor->Lungs = Still not Good, so probably bad.

im not saying its good for you, im saying it shouldn't be harsh to vape.

The only damage other than what you already mentioned is "contamination possibility", so make damn sure its clean, or you trust your source if not extracting on your own. Other than that of course with any drug especially psychedelics there's a chance for psychotic breaks increasing in possibility with any current mental illness/history of.

What's that supposed to mean?

Smoke isn't good because it contains Carbon-vapors and fine particles that coat the lungs, reducing the surface area that's able to absorb oxygen from air. Besides, the smoke from many burnt plants often contain toxins & carcinogens. Tobacco smoke contains: Benzene, Nitrosamines, Formaldehyde & Hydrogencyanide. This is what makes Tobacco smoke so bad for the health. Cannabis smoke contains many similair toxins & carcinogens. Any kind of smoke
will contain these harmfull substances to some degree.

Inhaling vapors isn't good or bad per se: It depends on what vapors you're inhaling.
Some vapors, like Cyanide or mercury-vapors are amazingly toxic, while other vapors,
like DMT or THC-vapors aren't harmfull at all. (Given they are sufficiently pure)


Sofar there is no known physical damage from vaporised DMT. Pure DMT vapors should get fully
absorbed by the lungs into the bloodstream.

That being said, do you know of DMT Inducing such mental illness's? Or is this usually a prior existing condition that just ends up being exacerbated.

If you consider a potentially new outlook on life a psychological disorder then yes, I know plenty that experienced that many people come out of the experience crying, thanking me for the experience. I've given samples to people with preexisting potential for certain disorders like possible bi-polar, depression on occasion, anxiety, including myself for the anxiety, with no long term adverse reactions unlike with DXM (I know its not a true hallucinogen) and Salvia which have both made me reconsider my drug use after some experiences DMT left me once in a state where I needed a couple days to integrate but even after a difficult experience I never found it to cause a "bad trip" just very difficult ones, but I consider anything with a lesson as a good trip, regardless of how difficult.

With the above being said keep in mind if you were to choose an oral route to administer with an MAOI this could also increase potential psychotic break risk as its a different experience with a different intensity, and longer lasting, and I had a friend once who lied to me about drinking alcohol within last 24 hours prior to experience and he was the only one who had an initially rough trip off oral, was fine with smoked, but oral made him puke after his night of drinking harder then aya/pharma would normally, and he regretted lying to me, in the long run he was fine but as his trip sitter it was obvious he was having an initial hard time, and then only later did it become better for him so definitely be careful with what you mix, and follow MAOI diet even though some say syrian rue and the like is less likely to cause interactions, still it's advisable to be careful I will always be safe 24 hours prior and post experience to ensure the cleanest experience possible.

I guess those are the risks of MAOIs, but this topic asks about the risks of DMT.
DMT & Ayahuasca are indeed very diferent, chemically & experientially.
I only had 1 Ayahuasca experience with Santo Daime once, but I must honoustly say I
feel that where my DMT smoalking sessions were wildly visual & deeply therapeutical,
I found the Ayahuasca experience alot more shallow. It went deep and was therapeutic for
sure, but I much prefer smoalking DMT: For I do not like the risks MAOIs pose & thusfar I
have found smoalking DMT takes me much deeper into understanding the workings of my consciousness than Ayahuasca did. But I'm guessing the Ayahuasca tea offered to me by Santo Daime was strained from P.Viridis leaves with only a low DMT content(Judging from the almost complete absence of open & closed eyed visions)

Something with Health and Safety...

Ska- S.Daime aren't known for strong ayahuasca. From my 2 friends that are in the church but have also drank with me in Peru say its a whole different thing. They brew their aya caapi heavy and light on the dmt so they can sing there songs and dance ext. Not sure why you'd want to do that after drinking ayahuasca but to each their own.

Your not doing any dancing or singing of a good solid dose of ayahuasca.

Appreciated.
Overlooking the obvious is always a quick embarrassment.

Though personal experiences are always helpful too (: So I guess this thread still holds purpose.

Theres also been plenty of threads on this topic as well, filled with personal thoughts/experiences

if you smoke DMT, your brain will melt and drip down your spine, and when you crack your back you will think you are a glass of orange juice, when someone knocks you over you will jump out of a third story window thinking you can fly (because you can). also if you smoke DMT more than 7 times, you are legally insane (because it burns holes in your [sane] brain); you can also expect to have severe flashbacks, because DMT is 10 to 20 times more potent than it was back in the 70's.

when i looked up "flashback" in the dictionary it said "not you again"
