Just a heads up: 5-meo is not DMT. There are quite a few chemicals with DMT in their name like 4-aco (4-AcO-DMT), which is also not DMT.
Also, when it comes to 5-meo you don't really "trip" per se, not in the traditional sense. You just kind of half pass out for about a minute. The potential for the risks you mention on 5-meo is nearly impossible, due to it not being a traditional kind of trip.
Likewise, DMT you don't really trip in a traditional way either. For about 5 to 15 minutes, you're off in la la land. You can barely think straight let alone enough to explore your inner mind like you would do during a normal trip. For similar reasons, the risks you describe are most likely non existent for DMT. Though, DMT isn't exactly enjoyable for most, so there is that.
I've seen a few studies and so far it seems to be that cannabis is most likely to cause the risks you're describing, including psychosis. While those risks are possible on LSD, magic mushrooms, and other drugs you trip on, the risk is far lower than in cannabis.
- Kiro 7y agoNot true for 5-MeO-DIPT. The trip lasts for hours.

- raducu 7y agoHow about the possibility for HPPD, I think that's universal to all psychedelics?
- proverbialbunny 7y agoIt's so rare it isn't studied, so I can't say if 5-Meo can cause it. HPPD in theory is caused by a strong intense memory, and when something familiar to that memory occurs it brings that person back to that mental place. If this is what is going on, then you're going to have a hard time forming a strong memory to something when you're passed out or so out of it you're not paying attention to the setting around you. So, I imagine HPPD is not a thing in 5-Meo, but as I said there are not studies on it. HPPD is rare.
- enimodas 7y agoHPPD is not rare, and is not what you are describing. See for one https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/11/lots-of-people-going-around-with-mild-hallucinations-all-the-time/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/11/lots-of-people-going-a... , or the relevant subreddit.
