Smoking - Smoking Ayahuasca Plants

[Anonabyss]

Despite swims extensive psychedelic experiences, swim has never come in contact with any sort of DMT. To the best of his knowledge no one he's known has ever had it and he can't find it anywhere. This is really at the top of swim's list now of trying new things, and he's seen a number of sources that would be able to legally supply swim with Ayahuasca (a DMT containing plant and an MAOI containing plant) to consume orally. Swim would prefer to find DMT to smoke, but is certainly willing to settle for Ayahuasca and would like to try that additionally anyway.

If swim is not mistaken, when people smoke DMT it is certainly not the plants (such as Psychotria viridis), rather some form of extracted DMT from some source unknown to swim. Is this correct? This would suggest that individuals rarely or never actually smoke said plants, and that those are essentially only used for oral consumption in an Ayahuasca brew.

That being said, shouldn't it theoretically be possible to consume DMT by smoking one of these plants associated with Ayahuasca, thereby avoiding the necessity of an MAOI and the frustrating process associated with eating Ayahuasca, or is it necessary to have DMT in a different form, perhaps as a freebase? Has anyone done this, or ever heard of someone having done this?
