So for all the years I've been familiar with DMT, I would notice that sometimes I experience the taste of my own mouth tasting a fat rip of DMT. Also experienced smoking ganja and having a hit taste like DMT. So I haven't smoked DMT in a long time, and, this has happened before, but I woke up this morning, and my morning breath tasted like DMT. This could be explained from many angles, but I recently read that during fasting, after a certain point, toxins are not only removed from the digestive tract, but also the lungs. I have smoked a fuckload of spice in my days...perhaps my lungs have remnants of DMT-resin which when on a brief fast, between sleep/wake, gets ejected and leaves me with this DMT breath?

Thoughts? lol

Decay of tryptophan containing proteins, yielding various indole related molecules. Some of these may have a smell resembling that of some of the pyrolysis products of dmt that result from many methods of smoking dmt.

But would not that mean that everyone experience DMT breath. Do you think OP's suggestion makes more sense considering the populace that smoked DMT report the experience much more. I haven't experienced the DMT breathe atleast before doing it a few times.

Most people would not be sensitivized to it. Because the dmt experience is so overwhelming, the associated smells are powerful triggers. After my first dmt vapes, I would smell dmt in many places where I had not previously noticed it. Along with the smell come emotional triggers bringing the intensity of the experiences back to acute awareness

When I bought my Jeep I started seeing Jeeps everywhere I went.

Pink elephants are all the rage nowadays!

I think it all in the mind.

Exactly this. Normally decomposition of tryptophane is combined with more decomposition products.
But most dmt is so pure that its decomposition products always stay the same.
With the effects of the trip the smell burns into your brain and then you can smell the indole decomposition in everything.

Interesting topic. I am recognizing a dmt fragrance on a regular base, which occurs independently of the situation I find myself in and which source I located as myself. I thought it might come from deposits, which are left by the vape/smoke, in my lungs.

You definetely develop an hyper-acute awareness when it comes to DMT-related triggers. I think because of the intensity of the experience. For me it was chicken that did it. I once baked a chicken on a plate I used for freeze precipitation and forgot to clean correctly. Since then everytime I eat chicken it reminds me of DMT.

After a few years of not doing DMT, I still smell DMT randomly. I joked to myself that a nearby hyperspace gnome must have just farted.

I've had some cannabis strains that totally smelled like DMT when stem-rubbed.
Once they flower the smell changes though.
