Experience

Primary effects

Contains bufotenin with trace amounts of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, leading to a quick onset of simple closed-eye visuals and an altered headspace.

Peak character

Characterized by a rapid onset of an altered headspace and fluid, simple closed-eye visuals without significant complexity.

Negatives / side effects

Insufflation causes intense nasal pain. The experience is very short-lived (around 5 minutes).

Aftereffects / comedown

An afterglow may linger for several hours following the brief peak effects.

Reagent testing

Recommended reagents

Ehrlich Hofmann

Expected reactions

Ehrlich	Purple/violet (bufotenine, 5-MeO-DMT)

Adulterant detection: Anadenanthera peregrina seeds — bufotenine and 5-MeO-DMT content. Same as Cebil.

Ehrlich confirms tryptamine alkaloids.
