DiPT (N,N-diisopropyltryptamine) is a hallucinogenic psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family that has a unique effect. While the majority of hallucinogens affect the visual sense, DiPT is primarily auditory. It has been suggested that DiPT may have value to researchers of neurology due to its complex audio distorting effects.

This compound was first identified by Alexander Shulgin in his book TiHKAL.^[1] It is relatively uncommon and has little to no history of human usage.

DiPT, or N,N-diisopropyltryptamine, is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R₃ to an amino group via an ethyl side chain.

DiPT also contains two isopropyl groups bound to the terminal amine R_N of its tryptamine backbone. Isopropyl groups are a three carbon (propyl) chain bound at the middle carbon to the chemical structure. DiPT has substituted analogues such 5-MeO-DiPT. DiPT is analogous to DMT, containing two isopropyl groups bound at R_N instead of the two methyl groups found in DMT.

DiPT likely acts as a 5-HT_2A partial agonist. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from DiPT's efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

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.

General effects

Although DiPT's effects are primarily auditory, some users have reported that at higher doses they noticed a lack of coordination or balance, stomach bloating, confusion, depersonalization and minor visual distortions. Aside from these, the most prevalent non-auditory effect is inner ear pressure (which has been painful in some instances such as when combined with MDMA. Unlike other psychedelics, the users' set and setting doesn't seem to influence what is experienced.

Auditory effects

There is much speculation as to the nature of DiPT's aural distortion. At lower dosages, it has been reported to have an effect 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.^[1]

There has been an experiment involving subjects with perfect pitch where the goal was to determine whether the pitch difference is truly distortive or linear. The results indicated that there is no clear relationship between perceived pitch and actual pitch.^[1]

Although recent unpublished research has examined the role of DiPT in hearing perception in rodents, it is not clear that the auditory effect is preserved in nonhuman species; this research indicates that DiPT does not produce effects similar to other tryptamine psychedelics such as DPT and 5-MeO-DMT in acoustic startle reflex paradigms. DiPT still remains widely unexplored.

These auditory effects of DiPT are common in their occurrence and exhibit a full range of effects which commonly includes:

• Enhancements
• Distortions
• Hallucinations

Main articles: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential & Responsible use § Hallucinogens

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational DiPT do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because DiPT is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people within the psychonaut community who have tried DiPT 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

DiPT 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 DiPT 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). DiPT presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the consumption of DiPT all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.

• Latvia: DiPT is a Schedule I drug.^[2]
• United Kingdom - As is the case with many PiHKAL and TiHKAL drugs, it is class A in the U.K., making it illegal to possess or use.
• United States - DiPT is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States,^[3] but it could be considered an analog of 5-MeO-DiPT, in which case purchase, sale, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act. Some of the people arrested in Operation Web Tryp were selling DiPT.
  • Florida - DiPT is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess.^[4]
