DMT

A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. A behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research. Provides a unique scientific explanation for the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences. In 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U. S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the potential therapeutic uses of these substances. Although its exact function in humans is unknown, it is thought that DMT also occurs naturally in our brains and plays a role in phenomena such as near death experiences and alien abduction episodes. Traces of DMT have been discovered in several plants used ritually by natives around the world, including Amazonian tribes using ayahuasca for spiritual purposes. Many of Dr. Strassman's volunteers reported convincing encounters with intelligent alien beings, some of whom spoke fluent English and communicated specific personal information about participants that they could not have otherwise known.
