Dimethyltryptamine is a hallucinogenic drug[1]. The drug is alleged to create a Euphoria linked to feelings of "‘transcendence’, ‘ineffability’ and ‘grace’ that often appear in descriptions of ayahuasca sessions by physically and psychologically healthy individuals. Many reported experiences are similar to descriptions of samadhi in advaitan Hinduism, satori in Zen Buddhism or beatific vision in Christianity"[2].
