Question: What is the hallucinogenic compound in Ayahuasca
Asked by yacob
The primary hallucinogenic compound in Ayahuasca is N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, commonly known as DMT. Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian plant brew made from the combination of two plants: the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis leaves. DMT is found primarily in the leaves of Psychotria viridis. However, it is the combination of DMT with the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) present in Banisteriopsis caapi vine that makes the DMT orally active and results in the unique psychedelic experience of Ayahuasca.
