A research team of Johannes Lamaekers and others, who are studying psychopharmacology and behavioral toxicology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, conducted an experiment focusing on a substance called 5- methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT). The we.

5-MeO-DMT is a chemical substance collected from some plant and a kind of secretion of toad called Colorado River Toad .

The research team recruited 75 volunteers from the three countries of the Czech Republic, Spain, and the Netherlands to verify the knowledge that '5-MeO-DMT has an antidepressant action' and dried it, including 5-MeO-DMT. An experiment was conducted in which an inhalation medicine made from the toad secretion was ingested. At the same time, the “Life Satisfaction Test” was conducted three times before the experiment, 24 hours after ingestion, and 1 month after ingestion.

As a result, almost all participants who took the final test responded that they had “improvement of mood”, “increased attention”, “decrease in depression and anxiety”, and reported that life satisfaction was generally improved. did. In the graph below, the vertical axis represents “Life Satisfaction” and the horizontal axis represents the number of days, and since the intake of 5-MeO-DMT indicated by the toad mark, life satisfaction is high. You can see that it has been maintained for months.

The “satisfaction with life” brought by 5-MeO-DMT improved as the psychedelic effect of suction increased. In addition, all participants who reported mental disorders such as anxiety disorder , depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , alcoholism, and drug addiction are all affected by 5-MeO-DMT. Has been reported to have improved the effect.

However, there are still significant challenges for this research. Of the 75 participants who agreed to the experiment, only 42 took the test 24 hours later, and only 24 took the final test one month later. It is a point.

The research team said that it was `` unknown '' about the reason why 51 participants lost communication, but `` It may have been caused by disappointment due to negative experiences such as bad trip '' And he showed that 5-MeO-DMT may not bring happiness to everyone. In addition, since the amount of 5-MeO-DMT that was aspirated by participants was a nominal amount, it was pointed out that the dose at which 5-MeO-DMT had a good effect was unknown.

For this reason, the research team has positioned this experiment as a preliminary indicator of “the effect of ingestion of dried toad secretion containing 5-MeO-DMT on mental health”. He said that he will conduct further research to confirm the therapeutic effects of his mental illness.
