What is DMT?
N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a short-acting tryptamine psychedelic found in many plants, including Mimosa hostilis root bark and Psychotria viridis; it is federally Schedule I (21 CFR 1308.11(d)), as is 5-MeO-DMT. States schedule DMT by name; whether plant material is captured depends on each schedule's "any material containing" language.
