DMT
DMT appears in A trip to the magic mushroom megachurch as one of the psychoactive substances available as sacrament at Zydor Church, including through vape pens. The source says Dave gives a sample donation amount of about $100 depending on the product, making DMT part of the episode’s Sacrament Donation Model and legal-risk analysis.
In the episode, DMT also connects Zydor to the broader legal history of ayahuasca churches. The 2006 Supreme Court ayahuasca decision is presented as a precedent signal for Religious Controlled-Substance Exemption, even as the source warns that newer churches remain exposed without a granted exemption.
Bryan Johnson: I Just Took the Most Powerful Dose of DMT in the World… Here’s What It Was Like adds a separate biomedical self-experiment branch through 5-MeO-DMT. Bryan Johnson distinguishes 5-MeO-DMT from DMT by describing it as less visual, faster, and subjectively more forceful; the wiki should therefore connect the pages without collapsing the Zydor legal-religious DMT context into Johnson’s psychedelic longevity claim.
