The a DiPT trip is probably only appealing to well-seasoned and adventurous psychonauts, hell-bent on trying out all forms of altered states.īut is there therapeutic potential as with other psychedelics?Īs there are currently no clinical trials exploring DiPT, there’s no evidence to suggest therapeutic effect.
At high doses, you might even experience some visual geometry, as with DMT, and there have unfortunately been reports of ear pressure and tinnitus that has been painful in some cases. Aside from the auditory hallucinations, users might notice some visual and sensory effects such as color enhancement, morphing and augmented depth perception.
Unlike the awe-inspiring experiences many people speak of when taking other psychedelics, DiPT is far less likely to produce any form of enjoyable ride. We just don’t know.” Does DiPT have therapeutic value? However, like we don’t really have an explanation as to why we experience closed eye visuals on other psychedelics. “Perhaps this bizarre effect is caused by the beyond human enhancement of things we might not ordinarily hear, like electronic frequencies. This gives weight to the idea that the whole experience is being processed by the auditory cortex,” Tipado explains. “Even when there’s no augmentation of auditory senses, auditory hallucinations are produced on DiPT. DiPT produces auditory hallucinations even when there’s no sound to be heard. Radical pitch shifts are also quite commonly reported, as are phase shifts (when two sound waves with the same frequency but different starting points combine).īut, here’s where things get spooky. When a person talks, we can normally hear what they’re trying to say, but when a person is on DiPT some of the words might be completely omitted from the conversation, or switched around to create an entirely new context. But in the case of DiPT, it’s purely auditory chaos,” says Tipado.Īlthough there aren’t any clinical trials exploring DiPT yet, a lot of people have reported their experience when taking the drug, so we know anecdotally what happens. When you take psychedelics, your thalamus is fed information in a kind of chaotic way, which is partly why things can get weird. The thalamus is basically the part of the brain that processes your whole reality. “We know that DiPT does effect the same part of the brain as other psychedelics -the auditory cortex, and potentially at a deeper level, the thalamus. However, research into DiPT (admittedly of which there is very little) only appears to make this effect even more inexplicable. Weird and wacky as the world of psychedelics may be, fast-progressing research is allowing us to start unpicking the inner workings of these unique drugs and indeed their therapeutic potential. “Almost all psychedelics have an audio-visual context, but DiPT purely produces audio artefacts. Examples are a body buzz, slight euphoria, enjoyment of tactile sensations, and a slight increase in energy.“It’s completely bonkers,” says psychedelic neuroscience researcher Zeus Tipado. Other effects, which are usually desirable, do occur. For the most part, DiPT does not seem to cause serious physical discomfort. Some side effects (besides the inability to hear clearly) include feeling disoriented, nausea, and teeth grinding. Visuals are reported as “distortions,” not the hallucinations one might associate with tryptamine. Some reports of confusion exist, but DiPT does not seem to have significant cognitive effects. At higher doses, some people report being unable to understand any sound at all. Other reports mention DiPT lowering or tuning down sounds around people. This effect, however, is not linear and not well understood. The specific auditory effects are described in terms of audio effects.Ī “flanger” or “phase shift” are terms for describing the effects of sound, which mix together with a slight delay. Lower doses have been used to appreciate music. The focus is often on music or its effects on social situations. The vast majority of trip reports focus on DiPT’s auditory effects.
