Dr. Rick Strassman is an American clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He has held a fellowship in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California San Diego and was Professor of Psychiatry for eleven years at the University of New Mexico.  Dr. Strassman is credited for conducting some of the earliest tests with DMT (DMT – N,N-dimethyltryptamine) on human subjects and this lead to some revolutionary discoveries. The results were maddening for a scientist trying to use logic and the scientific method to explain, that he was forced to abandon the study completely.  Find him at https://www.rickstrassman.com/ ***TIMESTAMPS*** 0:00 - Intro 4:32 - Dr. Strassman getting into studying psychoactive substances; Studying DMT and the effects and possibilities for treating Schizophrenia 16:30 - Patients undergoing DMT experiences and coming in contact with. “Sentient beings” and the struggle trying to identify and report the results 27:00 - Descriptions from the patients and WHAT they saw and the intensity from both a scientific as well as observational pov; fears of going down to Shaman Ceremonial Experiences 40:08 - Graham Hancocks’s, Supernatural; Ego Death, UFO Abductions, Ferries, Elves…; Neurology of the brain and its relationship with DMT (Death release) YouTube EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLKzv5fKxGmVQg3cMJJzyQ/videos ~Song provided by: Ayush Garg
