DMT is not orally active unless you're on a MAOI, which is dangerous and could potentially explain the symptoms being described. I wouldn't trust any chocolate being sold as both psychoactive and containing DMT. You're either getting ripped off or taking something potentially very dangerous.

That's interesting, I have genes that basically mean I'm on a natural MAOI at all times. Should I stay away from DMT then? Is that why Salvia was such a hellish nightmare?

Definitely stay away from DMT unless you want to trip balls. You should probably be on a restricted diet too, MAO inhibition is not safe and eating things like cheese could potentially send you to the hospital. I would recommend consulting a doctor if you haven't, literally the wrong food can be life threatening so it is really something to take seriously. Also, Salvia is inherently a hellish nightmare for most people. It's a very weird drug that fucks with perception in such a fundamental way that it is very hard to have a good time.

Yes I am on a low tyramine diet, that is actually how I found out about my genes (migraines from tyramine lead to gene test). There are also several meds I can't take as well. But I had never known about DMT interacting with it.
