VI. Physical Effects
Positional isomers 6-hydroxy-DMT and 7-hydroxy-DMT are related to DMT, with psychoactive effects. They cause intense hallucinations and altered states of consciousness, acting as psychoactive uppers. Short-term use can lead to profound psychological experiences, while long-term use may cause psychological risks or HPPD. Overdose risks are minimal but can cause severe psychological distress. Safe use involves controlled environments and cautious dosing. Recent research explores their potential therapeutic uses.  |
