Psychedelic drugs, such as DMT, resemble the serotonin molecule and attach to the same receptors as serotonin. But when you smoke DMT, you are assaulting all of your brain cells with a serotonin mimic at once, whereas serotonin is usually released in an organized controlled way. the result of randomly activating serotonin receptors is that the brain's neural networks temporarily go wonky and weird things happen.
