I know it has been derived from certain tree bark, but in a lab I'm not sure. What I found interesting about it is that there are small amounts of dmt in the human brain, specifically the pinnae. Doctors have speculated that perhaps it's released when going through birth, and death. There's an entire book about a doctor from NM that conducted a bunch of medical trials on it, and all the hoops he had to jump through to get approval, and then actually find a lab willing to make it, etc, etc. All in all it was definitely an interesting read, but it did have some sort of spiritual hippy aspect to it. It was called dmt: the spirit molecule. That is also the name of the movie on the same subject. It is on netflix. Joe Rogan hosts the documentary.

Haven't watched it though.
