Just watched this tonight on Netflix. Basically it's about DMT and the death experience as a trip and astral projection. It's directed by Gaspar Noe who also directed Irreversible. Paz De La Huerta of Boardwalk Empire fame is in it as well. A lot of sex scenes in this movie too.

Looks interesting. The DMT trip, the way they seem to suggest in the trailer, sounds similar to ibogaine or the beta-carbolines like those in ayahuasca. I havent heard it described that way by others though. This is next to watch for me. Thanks.

Ayahuasca is typically a mix of a plant containing DMT and another plant that contains an MAOI inhibitor. This allows the DMT to be orally viable. Similar effects but much more of a smooth ride than standard DMT. Well worth the time to prepare correctly.

I will check this documentary out.

Yes that is right, the question of whether some of the harmala alkaloids themselves are hallucinogens is open to debate but you're right I think they chiefly inhibit MAO so the other stuff like the tryptamines remain bioavailable. Shulgin wrote a bunch about this stuff and if I remember correctly he did try some harmala alkaloids and they weren't very effective. I'll have to refresh my memory. Ever read Shulgin's stuff. He's something, that's for sure.

I thought it was crap.

One of the best movies I've seen in the last few years hands-down.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule is playing on On Demand right now.

Ok, watched it last night. It sucked.

Probably would be better on shrooms or weed.
