Physical
The physical effects of 5-MeO-DALT can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage.
Cognitive
The head space of 5-MeO-DALT is described by many as one which is both insightful and relatively normal in its thought processes even at moderate to high doses.
Visual
Distortions
5-MeO-DALT presents a full and complete array of possible visual distortions.
Enhancements
5-MeO-DALT presents a full and complete array of possible visual enhancements.
Geometry
The visual geometry that is present throughout the experience can be described as more similar in appearance to that of AMT than that of LSD, 2C-B or 2C-I. It can be comprehensively described as unstructured in its organization, synthetic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, small in size, slow and smooth in motion, colourful in scheme, glossy in colour, equally blurred and sharp in its edges and equally rounded and angular in its corners. They give off a synthetic feel to them that is less impressive than most of the "classical" psychedelics at any level. It has yet to be confirmed whether this compound results in either level 8A or level 8B at heavy doses.
Auditory
The auditory effects of 5-MeO-DALT are common in their occurrence and exhibit a full range of effects.

Tolerance
Harm Potential
Toxicity
The exact toxic dose is unknown. A death related to behavioral intoxication has been reported. Published overdose case reports describe loss of consciousness, visual hallucinations, acute delirium, and rhabdomyolysis.
Compared with many psychedelics, it can produce uncomfortable cardiovascular effects such as elevated blood pressure and heart rate, prompting concern about possible toxicity from heavy or prolonged use.
Rhabdomyolysis has been reported in overdose cases.
