Is "Altered states" the first movie to reference DMT?

Altered States (1980)

"Directed by Ken Russell. With William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, Charles Haid. A Harvard scientist conducts experiments on himself with a hallucinatory drug and an isolation chamber that may be causing him to regress genetically."

There are certainly movie and tv references about Fungus,LSD and Mescaline, that pre-date this.

But as far as I know, wasn't DMT some obscure drug nobody knew about in 1980?

Definitely ahead of it's time.

One of the quintessential psychedelic/counterculture movies IMO

I missed the DMT reference in the movie. I know magic mushrooma are involved.

Cant think or any other movies that reference DMT that came earlier than 1980s :strokebeard:

Maybe?  I always assumed that the shamanic ritual was based on ayahuasca rituals.  Decent movie either way though.
