Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) is a psychedelic drug belonging to the tryptamine family. It is found either as its crystalline hydrochloride salt or as an oily or crystalline base. When smoked, the effects of DPT have an onset in minutes and a duration of less than one hour. DPT is metabolized by the enzyme monoamine oxidase. While DPT is orally active on its own, the combination with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) can increase the length and intensity of the experience.

Oral dosages of 75 - 250 mg are commonly reported, while 25mg to 75mg represents the usual dosage when the drug is injected or insufflated, or smoked. Higher dosages are said to lengthen the experience.

[edit] Religious use

DPT is used as a religious sacrament by the Temple of the True Inner Light, a New York City offshoot of the Native American Church. The Temple believes DPT and other entheogens are physical manifestations of God.

[edit] Chemical Intermediary

DPT is a direct precursor to the restless legs syndrome and antiparkinsonian medication Ropinirole. Oxidation of the indole ring of DPT gives Ropinirole.^[1]
