| Summary sheet: DPT |
N,N-Dipropyltryptamine (DPT or "the Light") is a psychedelic drug belonging to the tryptamine family which was first reported in 1973.[1] DPT is an intense synthetic hallucinogenic drug which is the primary sacrament for the Temple of the True Inner Light, a Christian off-shoot organization who believe in psychedelic use and call DPT "the true flesh of God."
DPT is most commonly consumed via insufflation or orally. Some report the experience of insuffalation to be very painful which, with the rapidness of onset, does not give the user much time to acclimate themselves to the strong effects.

Chemistry
 |
This chemistry section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it. |
N,N-Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) contains the core indol and ethanamine groups of tryptamine with two propyl groups bound to the amino group. It can be found in both its crystalline hydrochloride salt or in its freebase form. It can be considered analogous to DMT, DET, and 5-MeO-DIPT.
Pharmacology
DPT's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT2A and 5-HT1A receptor as a partial agonist.[2]
The role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.
Subjective effects

This subjective effect breakdown is a stub. As such, it may contain incomplete or wrong information and is still in progress. You can help by expanding it. |
The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
Physical effects
At light to moderate doses, there is often a slight sense of anaesthetization and relaxation. As the dose increases, perceptions of heart rate increase and body tremors and loss of muscle control are often reported. DPT can range from strong euphoria and erotiscism to nausea and dysphoria even within the same trip.
- Spontaneous tactile sensations - The "body high" of DPT is generally more prominent to that of the better known DMT. There is often the sensation of limbs feeling disconnected from the body, a force pinning the body to the surface on which it lay and body tremors which can often make the user feel aware of but not in control of their body.
- Changes in gravity - At higher doses, physical feelings of moving through spaces at quick speeds or being pinned down are common.
- Headaches
- Motor control loss
- Muscle spasms
- Nausea
- Physical euphoria
- Wakefulness
Cognitive effects
- Emotion enhancement
- Memory suppression
- Novelty enhancement
- Personal bias suppression
- Rejuvenation
- Subconscious communication
- Unity and interconnectedness
Visual effects
Enhancements
Distortions
- Drifting (melting, breathing, morphing and flowing)
- After images
- Colour replacement
- Colour shifting
- Recursion
- Scenery slicing
- Symmetrical texture repetition
- Tracers
Geometry
Hallucinatory states
DPT produces a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of any other commonly used psychedelic. These effects include:
- Machinescapes
- Transformations
- Internal hallucinations (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; alterations in perspective and scenarios and plots)
Toxicity and harm potential
 Main articles: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential & Responsible use § Hallucinogens
|
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational DPT do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because DPT is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried DPT suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.
It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.
Tolerance and addiction potential
DPT is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.
Tolerance to the effects of DPT are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). DPT presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of DPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
Legal issues
- Latvia: DPT is a Schedule I drug.[3]
- United Kingdom: DPT is a Class A drug in the United Kingdom, making it illegal to possess or use.
- United States: DPT is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States,[4] but it could be considered an analog of 5-MeO-DiPT, DMT, or DET in which case the purchase, sale, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act. DPT is a Schedule I controlled substance in the states of Florida and Maine, making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess.[5]
- Sweden - Following its sale as a designer drug, DPT was made illegal in Sweden on 26 January 2016.[6]
