difference between 5-MeO-DMT and DMT?
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-5-MeO-DMT-and-DMT/answer/Glynn-10
5-MeO-DMT is stronger than DMT,
and has far less of the visuals characteristic of DMT.
Instead, 5-MeO-DMT is mostly known for it's intense
perspective shifts and sensory overload.
under the influence of 'The void,'
you're probably confronted with stimuli that are
largely beyond being described.
Whereas DMT is the 'Spirit molecule,'
5-MeO-DMT is the 'God Molecule.'
Some describe this difference as being
confronted by the spirit
versus being submerged in the void,
or even what it would feel like to become
a single-celled organism.
5-MeO-DMT was not a controlled substance in most countries
as recently as 2011.
It's most well known source is the
Sonoran Desert toad (Bufo alvarius)

. the Sonoran Desert toad is also known as
sapo grande, and the Colorado River toad.
. the hallucinogen is released from several glands
(primarily the paratoids) in the skin.
[ parotoid gland seen behind the toad ear. ]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parotoid_gland#/media/File:Bufo_marinus_from_Australia.JPG
. the toxins are strong enough to kill full grown dogs
that pick up or mouth the toads.
. sapo grande can be 7 inches (18 cm) or more
-- one of the largest toads native to North America.
Adults have a green or greenish-gray topside;
and creamy white underside;
Large white turbercles, or warts
are found at the angle of the jaw,
but aside from the large parotoid glands
and a few large lumps on the hind legs,
this species has relatively smooth skin.
Range includes the desert surrounding Tucson:
Found from Central Arizona
to southwestern New Mexico and Sinaloa, Mexico;
historically entered southeastern California,
though it has not been seen there since the 1970s.
Habitat
This toad is common in the Sonoran Desert.
It occurs in a variety of habitats including
creosote bush desertscrub,
grasslands up into oak-pine woodlands,
and thornscrub and tropical deciduous forest in Mexico.
Life History
Sonoran Desert toads are active from late May to September,
though principally during the summer rainy season.
They are nocturnal during the hot summer months.
The male's call is weak, sounding somewhat like a ferryboat whistle.
Eggs are laid in temporary rainpools and permanent ponds.
Larvae metamorphose after 6 to 10 weeks.
This species lives at least 10 years, and perhaps as many as 20 years.
