Quote:Origin of the word METAtonin
Presently, there is no way to differentiate the pure chemical DMT (an illegal substance) from the internally produced, or endogenous, form. The name METAtonin is an attempt to differentiate these two: the natural source from the synthetic: here is the logic> melatonin and METAtonin are both derivatives of serotonin. Serotonin is of the tryptamine family; Melatonin is of the methyltryptamine family and METAtonin is a of the dimethyltryptamine family. Melatonin is a derivative of serotonin (serotonin + one methyl molecule), METAtonin is a derivative of Melatonin (melatonin + one methyl molecule). Each of these is a higher octave of the previous one. Hence METAtonin, a higher octave of melatonin. Each of these hormones neurochchemically shapes the state of consciousness in a unique way.
Melatonin is not a methyltryptamine, it is an acetyltryptamine. And 5-methoxylated, unlike DMT. So the origin of the word METAtonin is based on a fair bit of misunderstanding of elementary facts.
The site's owner seems to have done a nice job of compiling all the internet memes regarding DMT and boiling them into a richly flavored broth. This forum gets a honorable mentioning in the links section:
