Explanation:
In 1931, German-Canadian chemist Richard Helmuth Fredrick Manske became the first person to synthesize DMT in a laboratory. He prepared and described DMT as part of a broader study of methyltryptamine derivatives, publishing the work in the Canadian Journal of Research. At the time it was treated as an ordinary chemical product with no known biological activity. Its presence in plants was not confirmed until 1946, and its intense hallucinogenic effects in humans were not discovered until 1956.
