It also occurs naturally in the root bark of the mimosa tree. It grows like a weed where I live. But to acquire it you have to go through this lengthy purification process to actually get the DMT out of the root bark into a useable state. I just know this because I read A LOT. I've known people who have done it intending to use it as a spiritual experience to get closer to their god figure, or to whichever being/state/interconnection they believe in and were better people afterwards for it. I've also known people who did it just because it was another drug to get them high. They all said something to the effect of it being the most frightening experience they'd ever had. Sort of like mother nature kicking their ***** because they disrespected something as powerful as that.
