MiPT


MiPT (or N,N-Methylisopropyltryptamine) is a synthetic alkylated tryptamine compound, and a lesser-known member of the tryptamine class of psychedelic drugs. It is noted for its unique effects when compared to other members of its family, such as DMT and psilocybin.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

MiPT is a tryptamine derivative, structurally similar to other tryptamines such as DMT, DIPT, and DET. It is classified as an alkylated tryptamine, due to the presence of a methyl and isopropyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the tryptamine backbone. This modification allows for unique interactions with various neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, leading to its psychedelic effects.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The exact mechanism of action of MiPT is not fully understood. However, like other psychedelic tryptamines, it is believed to act primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist. This means it binds to and activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to an increase in serotonergic activity. This increased activity is thought to be responsible for many of the psychedelic effects experienced by users.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of MiPT can vary greatly depending on the dose, individual physiology, and set and setting. Common effects reported by users include visual and auditory hallucinations, altered perception of time, enhanced introspection, and a sense of euphoria. Some users also report experiencing synesthesia, a phenomenon where one sensory pathway (such as hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway (such as vision).

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of MiPT varies by country. In some countries, such as the United States, it is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, making it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess. In other countries, it may be legal or unregulated.
