5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), also known as O-methylbufotenin or mebufotenin (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), is a naturally occurringpsychedelic of the tryptamine family.[5][1][4][2] It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad.[5] It may occur naturally in humans as well.[5] Like its close relatives dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America.[5][6] Slang terms include Five-methoxy, the power, bufo, and toad venom.[7]
The drug acts as a non-selectiveserotonin receptor agonist, including of the serotonin5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors among others.[1][4][8] However, 5-MeO-DMT differs from most other serotonergic psychedelics in having 100- to 1,000-fold higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1][4][8] In relation to this, 5-MeO-DMT has been described as an "atypical" psychedelic and as producing subjective effects notably distinct from those of DMT and other psychedelics, for instance having a relative lack of visual effects.[5][1][4] Like DMT, 5-MeO-DMT has a very rapid onset of action and short duration.[1][4] However, 5-MeO-DMT is 4- to 10-fold more potent than DMT in humans.[2]
When smoked, the duration of effects can be as little as ten minutes; when insufflated, up to two hours. Effects vary and can range from radical perspective shifting and perception of new insights, euphoria, immersive experiences, dissociation and non-responsiveness, sensual/erotic enhancement, to dysphoria, fear, terror, panic, and ego death.[12][better source needed]
The subjective effects of 5-MeO-DMT are described as distinct from those of DMT and other psychedelics.[4][5] Whereas DMT is described as producing more "information-rich" experiences, with "rich sensory phenomenology", visuals, and experiences of encountering entities and visiting other worlds, 5-MeO-DMT is described as having a relative lack of visual effects, producing a sense of "nothingness", and causing experiences that are said to be "content-free" and sometimes known as "whiteouts".[4][5] These experiences have been described as "beyond ordinary human comprehension", with a subjective impression of a void or amnesia of the experience.[4][5] In spite of this however, some have described the experiences as orgasmic, ecstatic, and blissful, whereas others have described them as terror or "information overwhelm".[4] As with DMT and other psychedelics, the experiences with 5-MeO-DMT are often described as overwhelming, profound, spiritual, religious, and/or mystical.[4][5]
The experiences of 5-MeO-DMT have been related to the experience of ecstatic seizures.[4]
The Church of the Tree of Life, founded in California in 1971 by John Mann but now defunct, declared the use of 5-MeO-DMT to be a sacrament. From approximately 1971 to the late 1980s, 5-MeO-DMT was discreetly available to its members.[15][16] Between 1970 and 1990, smoking of 5-MeO-DMT on parsley was probably one of the two most common forms of ingestion in the United States.[16][unreliable source?]

Similarly to other serotonergic psychedelics, 5-MeO-DMT is a non-selectiveserotonin receptor agonist, including of the serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors, among others.[1][4][22][21] It is 4- to 10-fold more potent as a hallucinogen than DMT in humans.[2] In contrast to most serotonergic psychedelics however, it is has been said that it is unclear that the hallucinogenic effects of 5-MeO-DMT are principally mediated by activation of the serotonin5-HT2A receptor.[4] In any case, 5-MeO-DMT does still activate the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and does still produce psychedelic effects.[4] It has been proposed that 5-MeO-DMT be considered an "atypical" psychedelic.[4] This relates to the fact that 5-MeO-DMT has 100- to 1,000-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and that the actions of 5-MeO-DMT appear to be primarily mediated by serotonin 5-HT1A receptor activation.[1][4][2][8] For example, the potencies of drugs substituting for 5-MeO-DMT in drug discrimination assays is well-correlated with their serotonin 5-HT1A receptor affinities, and the discriminative stimulus effects of 5-MeO-DMT are attenuated by serotonin 5-HT1A receptor antagonists.[2] However, there is partial generalization of 5-MeO-DMT to the selective serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist (–)-DOM in animals.[2] In accordance with the preceding findings, 5-MeO-DMT is reported to produce notably distinct subjective effects compared DMT and other psychedelics in humans.[4]
Although 5-MeO-DMT shows dramatically higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor than for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, the situation appears to be very different in terms of its actual activational potencies at these receptors.[31][21][18] Its EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration values have been found to be 1.80 to 3.87nM at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and 3.92 to 1,060nM at the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor.[31][21][18][24] For comparison, the EC50 values of DMT were found to be 38.3nM at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and >10,000nM at the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor in one of the same studies.[31][21] Hence, 5-MeO-DMT appears to be similarly potent or as much as 200-fold more potent as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor than of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor.[31][21][18] In addition, 5-MeO-DMT is 10-fold more potent than DMT as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[31][21]
Bufotenin is an active metabolite of 5-MeO-DMT, formed by O-demethylation by cytochrome P450CYP2D6.[2] Bufotenin notably has much higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor than 5-MeO-DMT itself.[2] However, bufotenin does not seem to be extensively produced from 5-MeO-DMT in the brain.[2] In addition, peripherally formed bufotenin may not be able to exert significant central effects due to its limited ability to cross into the brain.[2] Hence, the involvement of bufotenin in the psychoactive effects of 5-MeO-DMT is uncertain.[2]
The metabolism of 5-MeO-DMT can be dramatically reduced and its levels markedly augmented and prolonged by monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).[2] In addition, MAOIs allow 5-MeO-DMT to become orally active in humans.[2] Combination of 5-MeO-DMT with MAOIs has sometimes resulted in serotonin syndrome and death in humans.[2]
Sources
In addition to naturally-occurring sources, 5-MeO-DMT can be produced synthetically.[37][38]
The Colorado River toad is a noted animal source of 5-MeO-DMT. First described in 1983 by Ken Nelson (writing under the pseudonym of Albert Most), smoking the parotoid secretions of the animal produces a powerful and short-lived psychedelic experience.[45] The smoking of I. alvarius secretions should not be confused with the urban legend of toad licking.[46] Since 1983, the animal has since became a popular source of 5-MeO-DMT for recreational or spiritual purposes.[47] Unfortunately, this increased demand and use of the toads as a source of 5-MeO-DMT has put strain on their populations.[48] Concerned with the ecological impacts of the growing use of I. alvarius secretions as a source of 5-MeO-DMT, Ken Nelson would later advocate for the use of synthetic 5-MeO-DMT and conservation of the Colorado River Toad.[49]
5-MeO-DMT is legal for personal use and possession in Canada,[51] though sale, distribution, and other activities involving the substance are illegal under Canadian federal law.
As of 2001 5-MeO-DMT is listed as a controlled substance. Attachement I BtMG. BGBl. I 2001, 1180 - 1186;
Sweden
The Swedish government classified 5-MeO-DMT, listed as 5-metoxi-N,N-dimetyltryptamin (5-MeO-DMT) in their regulation SFS 2004:696, as "health hazard" under the act Lagen om förbud mot vissa hälsofarliga varor (translated Act on the Prohibition of Certain Goods Dangerous to Health) in October 2004, making it illegal to sell or possess.[53]
Turkey
5-MeO-DMT has been controlled in Turkey since December 2013.[54]
5-MeO-DMT is being developed and evaluated for potential therapeutic effects in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).[56]Biopharmaceutical company GH Research has sponsored a completed phase 1 study in healthy volunteers[57] and phase 1/2 study in TRD patients where 87.5% of patients with TRD were brought into remission on day 7 in the phase 2 part of the study.[58] GH Research is currently planning a phase 2b study in TRD patients and have received approval for studies in patients with bipolar II disorder and a current depressive episode and patients with postpartum depression.[59]
Beckley Psytech in collaboration with King's College London is evaluating the safety and tolerability of intranasal 5-MeO-DMT in healthy subjects, in a phase 1 study.[60][61] Beckley Psytech CEO Cosmo Feilding-Mellen sees a potential in the short-acting nature of 5-MeO-DMT compared to psilocybin: "Requiring one or two therapists to sit in a room with a single patient for the entire duration of an MDMA or psilocybin experience, which is essentially a whole working day, is probably going to be very resource-intensive and expensive. There is already a global shortage of psychotherapists, and this poses a potential bottleneck to patient access in the future."[62]
