Rick Strassman MD, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, interviewed by Graham Hancock

Audio not working? Go here: In his first public appearance for several years, Rick Strassman shares the background, performance, and interpretation of his 1990s groundbreaking research at the University of New Mexico. In this series of experiments—the first new American clinical research with psychedelic drugs in a generation—dozens of human volunteers received hundreds of doses of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known to science. The story of his research project, published as DMT: The Spirit Molecule, raises intriguing questions about the mysteries of consciousness and the hidden nature of “reality.“ Here, Rick discusses his own continually evolving understanding of the DMT phenomenon. Also discussed are Rick’s more recent works, DMT And the Soul of Prophecy, and his first novel, largely autobiographical in nature, entitled Joseph Levy Escapes Death. Rick Strassman’s website:
