Dr. Rick Strassman is gracing us with his wisdom today! He has appeared on the #1 global show, The Joe Rogan podcast, so it’s quite a treat for us to hear from him on this corner of the podcasting world.

Dr. Rick Strassman needs no introduction: he is the leading global authority on DMT. About twenty years ago, he authored the infamous book discussing the DMT trails he ran in the early 80s (DMT: The Spirit Molecule). In this episode, you can expect to learn a lot about nn-DMT (not to be confused with 5-MeO-DMT). Rick educates us on what we know about this mysterious psychedelic, the phenomenology, scientific literature, and its therapeutic potential.

Stick around until the end because we have a lot of fun talking about recreational psychedelic experiences, and he tells us the story of how Terence McKenna served him his first DMT dose. We also announce a giveaway for his latest book The Psychedelic Handbook.

• What drew Dr. Strassman to study DMT
