'Exploring DMT Hyperspace with Dr. Rick Strassman' is an online Zoom event, organized by the St Andrews Psychedelic Society, that delves into the groundbreaking research of Dr. Strassman, a clinical psychiatrist renowned for his studies on N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Between 1990 and 1995, he conducted government-approved clinical trials at the University of New Mexico, administering approximately 400 doses of DMT to nearly 60 volunteers. These studies revealed that DMT induces profound altered states of consciousness, often characterized by vivid visions, encounters with nonhuman entities, and experiences resembling near-death or mystical states.
Dr. Strassman's work, detailed in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule, suggests that DMT may play a role in spiritual experiences and consciousness exploration. He hypothesizes that the pineal gland could produce DMT, potentially facilitating experiences akin to those described in various religious and mystical traditions.
This event offers attendees an opportunity to gain insights into the intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, and psychedelics, guided by one of the pioneers in the field
