This is a microscope view of marram grass, Ammophila arenaria. I wonder if it contains dmt?

That is awesome!
I don't know if it contains DMT, but it looks hilarious under a microscope.

Darkfield microscopy is really amazing, I can never get enough of it.

I wonder what stains they used on this section or even if they used any in the first place.

Is this really what it looks like! hahahahah

They look so happy hahaha this is so awesome, the proof is in the pudding.

with mischievous third eye'd smiley faces like that, you'd think it must be loaded with the stuff!

I saw this on another posting a few weeks back. It's very intriguing and humorous! Unfortunately this doesn't mean anything relating to psycho-activity whatsoever. Perhaps maybe..

The plants scientific name is Arundo arenaria. It has similarities to Arundo donax, belonging to poaceae and gramine-like plants, which have been found to contain traces of dimethyltryptamine and other related compounds, some of which are highly poisonous and need very efficient extractions to proceed with any possible consumption (if any).

It is also known as beachgrass or bentgrass. They can withstand a variety of environmental conditions which explains some of their invasiveness as a plant(this plant contains a lot of material for invasive discussion). This makes it a xerophyte and is used to divert environmental risks and modulate dunes (sand stabiliser). It is native to Northwest Africa and Europe. Its host (an organism on which another organism lives) is ammophila arundinacea.

The plant may grow in areas close to DMT containing plants, thus indicating possible intrudence of active compounds being crossed over from other plants(?), such as arundo donax or perhaps phalaris(?) I am no research expert but nothing yet found on anything relating to inner compounds and arundo arenaria. Perhaps someone with a little more backround in genetics and ecology can answer with something relatively accurate.

Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) grows in a similar environment. I've often wondered about the possibility of some kind of coastal ~waska analogue - ammohuasca? litorahuasca? - but never really gave marram grass' chemistry any consideration. Bearing in mind the role this grass plays in dune stabilisation, it's probably best not to find out...

EDIT: Having looked at the plant's status as an invasive species on the west coast of North America, it seems like some harvesting would be highly appropriate!
