Because DMT is a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance, it should not be used outside of approved clinical trials. There is proposed benefit in the mental health realm, but evidence is not concrete. Hallucinogenics perpetuate 'out of body' experiences that can be harmful to the substance user and those surrounding. With this, DMT should not be used recreationally.
