N,N-Diisopropyltryptamine  (commonly known as  Diisopropyltryptamine or DiPT) is a synthetic tryptamine psychedelic compound that has gained popularity among users seeking intense and profound psychedelic experiences.

DiPT is a relatively uncommon psychedelic. 

DiPT belongs to the tryptamine family of compounds, which are known for their psychoactive effects on the human mind and are found in nature in many plants and animals.

In this article, we will discuss what DiPT is, how it works, what it does, how it's taken, what it feels like, and what the risks are associated with its use.

What is DPT?

DiPT is a synthetic tryptamine compound that was first synthesized in the 1970s by a chemist named Alexander Shulgin.

It is structurally similar to other tryptamine compounds like DMT and psilocybin, which are found in plants and mushrooms and have been used in traditional spiritual practices for centuries. However, DiPT is a purely synthetic compound and is not found in nature.

How does DPT work?

DiPT works by interacting with the serotonin receptors in the brain, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor, which is responsible for regulating mood, perception, and cognition. When DPT binds to the 5-HT2A receptor, it triggers a cascade of chemical events that lead to altered perception and consciousness.

Specifically, DiPT acts as a partial agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor, meaning that it activates the receptor but does not fully activate it to the same extent as a full agonist like LSD or psilocybin. This partial activation of the receptor leads to a less intense and shorter-lasting psychedelic experience than with full agonists, although the effects of DiPT can still be very powerful and profound.

DiPT also affects other serotonin receptors to a lesser extent, including the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors, as well as other neurotransmitter systems in the brain, such as the dopamine and norepinephrine systems. These interactions contribute to the overall effects of DPT, including changes in mood, cognition, perception, and physical sensations.

However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience remains subject to on-going scientific investigation.

What does DPT do?

DiPT is known for its intense and powerful psychedelic effects. 

While the majority of hallucinogens affect the visual sense, DiPT is primarily aural IE it affects your hearing. 

The effects of DiPT typically last between 3-6 hours, depending on the dose and method of administration.

What does DPT feel like?

DiPT can cause alterations in perception that may affect hearing. Users may report auditory hallucinations or changes in the way sounds are perceived, such as increased sensitivity to certain frequencies or a distortion of the spatial perception of sounds.

The subjective experience of DiPT can vary widely depending on the individual, dose, and setting. Here are some of the potential effects and experiences associated with DiPT use:

1. Changes in auditory perception: DiPT is best known for its effects on auditory perception, which can include auditory distortions and changes in the perception of pitch and tone. For example, some individuals may experience a shift in pitch perception, causing voices or music to sound higher or lower than they actually are.
2. Changes in mood and perception: Like other psychedelics, DiPT can cause profound changes in mood and perception, including feelings of euphoria, connectedness, and introspection. However, these effects can also be accompanied by feelings of anxiety or fear, especially if used in an uncontrolled or unsafe setting.
3. Changes in sensory perception: In addition to changes in auditory perception, DiPT can also cause changes in other sensory modalities, such as visual distortions, changes in tactile sensation, and altered sense of time.
4. Potential spiritual or mystical experiences: Some individuals may report having spiritual or mystical experiences while under the influence of DiPT, which can be profound and life-changing for some people.
5. Physical effects: DiPT can also cause physical effects such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, as well as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

From Wikipedia: 

At lower doses, Alexander Shulgin reported effects similar to a flanging or a phase shift. At medium and higher dosages, the effect of DiPT is typically a radical shift downward in perceived pitch. This shift tends to be nonlinear, in that the shift downwards varies in relation to the initial pitch. This can produce bizarre sounds and render music disharmonious. There has been an experiment involving subjects with perfect pitch, the goal of which was to determine whether the pitch difference is truly distortive or linear, the results of which indicated that there is no clear relationship between perceived pitch and actual pitch.  Aside from these, the most prevalent non-auditory effect is inner ear pressure (which has been painful in some instances, for example when combined with MDMA).

From Erowid: 

By T+1:20h, the full effects had developed. There was, in fact, a deepening effect, semi-randomly imposed on certain cross-sections of the sound spectrum. Most people's voices sounded dramatically deepened, but if the tone of their voice was outside a certain 'deepening range' it didn't have the expected distortion. In some cases high pitched sounds seemed to jump out with new depth and dimension, though they were emphasized more rarely than the lower pitches. By this point, I had a bizarre feeling in my ears. It felt as if energy had moved into my ears, melted my inner ear material, and my inner ear had then “hardened” again, recast into a new shape. I know that DiPT’s action is on particular subsections of the brain and not the ears, but it certainly feels as though it is effecting the ears directly.

How is DiPT taken?

DiPT can be taken in a few different ways, although the most common method of consumption is orally, in the form of a pill, capsule, or powder mixed with a drink.

However, some individuals may choose to take it via other routes of administration, such as insufflation (snorting) or injection, although these routes carry additional risks and should only be done under medical supervision.

How long does DiPT last?

The duration of the effects of DiPT can vary depending on several factors, including the dose, route of administration, and individual metabolism.

When taken orally, the effects of DiPT typically begin to be felt within 30-60 minutes and can last for up to 4-6 hours, with the peak effects lasting for 2-3 hours. However, some users have reported a shorter duration of effects, with the peak effects lasting for only 1-2 hours.

When taken via other routes of administration, such as insufflation (snorting) or injection, the onset of effects can be more rapid, but the duration of effects may also be shorter. These routes of administration can also increase the risk of adverse effects and should only be done under medical supervision.

Effects of DiPT can be unpredictable and may vary widely from person to person.

It is important to note that the purity and potency of DiPT can vary widely depending on the source, and there may be additional risks associated with consuming contaminated or adulterated substances.

What are the risks associated with DPT use?

Like all psychedelic substances, DiPT carries some risks and potential side effects. 

DiPT is a relatively new and uncommon psychedelic substance, and as such, there is limited research available on its potential risks and side effects. However, based on what is known about its pharmacology and anecdotal reports from users, there are some potential risks associated with the use of DiPT.

1. Auditory damage or tinnitus: DiPT is known for its unique auditory effects, including changes in the perception of pitch and tone, and auditory distortions. However, these effects can also be accompanied by potential auditory damage or tinnitus (ringing in the ears), especially if used at high doses or frequently.

2. Psychological effects: Like other psychedelics, DiPT can cause powerful and profound changes in mood, perception, and cognition. While these effects can be therapeutic for some people, they can also be distressing or lead to unpredictable behavior, especially if used in an uncontrolled or unsafe setting.

3. Physical effects: DiPT can also cause physical effects such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, as well as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These effects can be particularly dangerous in individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or who are taking other medications that may interact with DiPT.

4. Risk of overdose: The potency and effects of DiPT can be difficult to predict, and there is a risk of overdose if too much is consumed. Symptoms of overdose can include extreme agitation, confusion, and even seizures, and can be life-threatening.

5. Legal risks: DiPT is illegal in many countries, and possession or distribution can lead to criminal charges and legal consequences.

Final Thoughts

DiPT is a wild drug, and should be approached carefully. It is always important to use caution when using any psychoactive substance. 

Effects of the drug are temporary and should subside over time - however, there is a risk of long-term hearing damage if DiPT is used in high doses or frequently over a prolonged period.

Stay safe friends.
