2,α-Dimethyltryptamine (2,α-DMT) is a tryptamine and a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is the 2,α-dimethyl analog of DMT. Its synthesis was first reported in 1965.[1] Alexander Shulgin lists the dosage as 300-500 mg, and the duration as 7–10 hours in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved).[2] 2,α-DMT causes mydriasis and paresthesia. It also produces a calm, drunk-like feeling. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2,α-DMT.
