Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Intramuscular 5-MeO-DMT in Healthy Volunteers

This double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=54) will administer 5-MeO-DMT intramuscular (IM) in varying doses from placebo to 16mg. Half of the cohorts (each with 5 getting 5-MeO, 1 placebo) will receive multiples doses (e.g. 2.5mg followed 3 hours later by 4.5mg). The trial will provide valuable data on the pharmacokinetics and safety of 5-MeO-DMT in humans.
