Can a low dose of oral DMT be used to enhance reading (attention span/comprehension)?

I've always struggled with reading. It's too slow paced for me.
What do you think of my suggestion in the title?

Are you kidding me? Amphetamines are poor drugs.

I didn't actually really mean to take amphetamines, but that DMT is a very spiritual chemical and I don't think it should be used daily for things such as attention span and reading ability.
Also, amphetamines are not always "poor" drugs. There are cases in which people suffer from reduced catecholamine production in the VTA/other areas of the brain, and amphetamine salts like Adderall really help them act like normal people. ADHD sometimes can be a real deal, although I do think it is over diagnosed.

Absolutely correct. I know a dude who just doesn't act normal without adderall. He suffers from severe ADD.
I personally hate adderall, but that's probably because I used to binge on it for 20+ hour work days and ended up in the hospital because of it.

Where did you get the idea that dmt would help with reading and attention span?
I mean, that one doesn't even begin to make sense to me.
The only psychedelic I can see helping attention span & reading would be low, sub-psychedelic doses of LSD or mescaline.
If you want to use a drug for attention/reading...Like someone else mentioned, amphetamines are a great tool for this. Or small amounts of cocaine. As far as herbs/plants that help with this...green tea and/or kratom provide me with a clear focused mind, mucuna pruriens provides a lovely focused & mildly stimulated mind.

I'm curious what your definition of a poor drug is?
And what would a rich drug be ?

Well there's the following report about mushrooms:
Well I think micro dosing should not be underestimated. A micro dose used for the right purpose can be very noticeable. Never before was I interested in using any kind of drugs beside of the alcohol and Tobacco. Somehow I stumbled across Dr. Fadiman’s work on effects of micro dosing psychedelics. I have no connections so the one and only rational way to obtain such a substance was finding my own mushrooms.
Two days ago I tried my first ever psychedelic micro dose, it was 0.189g (one very big dried lib cap). Now days I work very late at my office, so I ingested this through lemon tek at 21:15 in my office. My intention was to see how it will affect my working ability and creativity. I did not expect any kind of visuals.
At about 21:45 I could notice that when I closed my eyes and leaned back in my office chair it felt soooo good. I was really relaxed, and I got mild closed eye visuals that I would describe as very mild northern lights like effect. The colors were shifting in waves from brown to sandy yellow, to orange and very bright yellow. This effect did not last too long, maybe 60 or 90 minutes.
The most interesting part began between midnight and one in the morning. I got such a motivation to finish writing a code for one of my projects. Anybody who is familiar with programming would agree that sometimes even if you have a clear idea what to do it can be tricky to put it down into the code. I ended up coding and actually finishing the program between 1:00-5:00 in the morning. It was really long time ago (if ever) I was writing such a clean code from scratch. Everything felt so natural and even if I was up since 10:00 previous day, I was full of energy.
So, in my experience micro dosing mushrooms in purpose to improve working ability was a success. Next time I will try 0.5g.
Re: Micro-dosing
DMT doesn't build a tolerance (minimal at best). Seeing as how I would want to read while high, frequently, DMT is the most appropriate option.
And poor doesn't just denote money. I called amphetamines poor because they exhaust the brain and the effects are short lived and are usually followed by a crash.

Provigil (or whatever its called where you are) would be the best choice, IMO.
Micro-dose shrooms might work - I've tried it before going to work (office environment, meetings etc) but they made me a bit antsy.
Low dose DMT... nah, too short acting and a threshold dose just seems to promote a body buzz, plus it makes me feel drowsy afterward (ie. 10 mins later).
Honestly, the best way I find to focus on a task is to listen to music and shut out all the background sounds/interruptions.

FWIW the title says oral DMT.

If dmt builds no tolerance why am I no longer getting anything from it after extracting dmt from a kilo of MHRB and smoking half the spice produced in about 2 months?

Cool, I have been quoted! This was one of my first experiments.
To the OP, micro dosing of mushrooms or LSD can definitely help you. I think to get the oral DMT to work you need some MAO-A inhibitor with it.
