God Molecule
OverlapPopular nickname for 5-MeO-DMT, often sourced from Bufo alvarius toad venom or synthesized — distinct from DMT's own nickname, "the Spirit Molecule," which comes from Rick Strassman's 2000 book of the same name. The two compounds and their nicknames get confused constantly despite being different substances with different intensities and durations.
