DALT
Encyclopedia
N,N-Diallyltryptamine is a psychedelic
drug
of the tryptamine
class. Alexander Shulgin
reports that DALT is active at 42 mg orally
, producing a +1 on the Shulgin scale, and being back to baseline by 4 hours. It is said to have a similar potency
to DMT, being active
at doses of approximately 40-100 mg, and to have a duration of about 2-4 hours. Relative to the other tryptamine psychedelics, DALT and 5-MeO-DALT
are said to be much weaker and far more gentle in comparison. However, if smoked, they may be more comparable to DMT and the like, potentially capable of producing 'breakthrough' experiences.
