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.
