Dr. Rick Strassman (born 1952 in Los Angeles, California, United States) is a medical doctor specialized in psychiatry with a fellowship in clinical psychopharmacology research. Dr. Strassman was the first person in the United States after twenty years of intermission to embark in human research with psychedelic, hallucinogenic, or entheogenic substances. During the intermission period, research was restricted by law to animals studies only.

Dr. Strassman's studies investigated the effects of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful entheogen, or psychedelic, that he theorizes is produced by the human brain in the pineal gland. DMT is found naturally in various natural sources, and is closely related to human neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin, which helped create the basis of this theory. During the project's five years, he administered approximately 400 doses of DMT to 60 human volunteers. This research took place at the University of New Mexico's School of Medicine in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he was tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry. Dr. Strassman has conjectured that when a person is approaching death, the pineal gland releases DMT, accounting for much of the imagery reported by survivors of near-death experiences. He wrote about the research program in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule, and a documentary movie based on this book is currently in production. Dr. Strassman has also conducted similar research using psilocybin, a psychedelic alkaloid found in hallucinogenic mushrooms.

  • Its really lame that you guys are arguing on youtube. Instead of fighting with a complete stranger through a keyboard and monitor, you can masturbate to relieve stress, eat food because youre probably cranky from hunger, or go exercise because its good for you.

  • smoke DMT and you will see, feel and taste what life is made up of! TRUST!

see all

  • Why are there a bunch of douchebags talking about weight lifting on a DMT video?

  • Wow, people's testimonies of near death experiences where they saw what was "beyond the grave" were the only things that genuinely had me on the fence still about whether i believed in a God and an afterlife or not. I had always suspected that it may be something like this, and now that I see it, I am pretty certain of my stance on all these things.

  • You guys should realize that everything this guy says are just theories, not fact.

  • What happens when someone gets shot in the head?

  • this is how the planet of the apes starts!!! thumbs up if u agree

  • @yahoopl3 You see its like this. When you try to argue with someone you take what they put on the table and throw it back at them. You don't avoid the subject of the matter and start name calling, you'll never accomplish anything in life like that man. "Remember how easily you were controlled" LMAO care to elaborate? Do you still put ice cubes in the fridge hoping they'll freeze? A tiny little bitch fuck punk like you wouldn't understand anything about debating or protein intake. Winnaarr! LOL
