l-tryptophan + l-methionine = dmt?

[darawk]

This is a quote from the TIHKAL entry on l-tryptophan:

Tryptophan, a natural and nutritionally essential amino-acid, is a centrally active intoxicant and sleep-provider in man. It is converted metabolically to tryptamine, which is a little bit psychedelic. When administered with methionine (another amino-acid known to methylate things) it produces methylated tryptamines, the two best-studied being...NMT and DMT. The effects that result are hard to categorize,reflecting the diagnostic status of the patient.

Has anyone tried this? It seems like it would be extremely hard to regulate if it worked.

Might wanna throw in a MAOI or the DMT wouldn't be active for long. Could go out of control but you would think that someone would have figured this out a long time ago. Probably does nothing
