Businessman's Trip
PsychedelicA nickname for smoked or vaporized DMT, whose effects last only 5–20 minutes — short enough, the joke goes, to fit into a lunch break. Despite the brief clock time, users commonly describe the subjective experience as vastly longer, sometimes reporting what feels like an entire alternate lifetime compressed into minutes.
Example: We've covered lab research on DMT's antidepressant effects — a much more sober counterpart to the lifetime-in-minutes trip reports the nickname is built on.

A nickname for smoked or vaporized DMT, whose effects last only 5-20 minutes — short enough, the joke goes, to fit into a lunch break.
