Hey yo, welcome to another edition to An Gently Speaking, coming at you from Portland, Oregon.

This week I had a conversation with Mitch Schultz, who is the writer and director of a very

interesting documentary called The Spirit Molecule.

It's about DMT, Dimethyl Tripdomean, which is a naturally occurring substance in the

brain, not only in the human brain, but in the brain of just about everything that's

got a brain, and it even seems to be in pretty much all the plants out there.

It's a widely dispersed molecule in our world, among all living things, apparently.

And it's also something that will make you trip balls, which I don't really get that phrase,

but people say it.

I was tripping balls.

I don't know.

I don't know what that means.

I guess it means they were tripping a lot.

Trip and heart, which is what the DMT will do.

DMT is the psychoactive, one of the psychoactive molecules in Ayahuasca, the famous T, made

by holy people and traditional cultures in the Amazon.

It's very interesting, a lot of you know about this, but for those who don't just briefly,

one of the things that's very interesting about Ayahuasca is that you've got, it's a

teammate of essentially two different plants, the bark of a vine and leaves of a shrub that

both grow in the Amazon.

Now, neither one of these plants has any nutritional value, they're not, it's not like the leaf

of broccoli or something that you're already working with.
