Psychiatrist, author, and seeker, Dr. Rick Strassman MD returns to the mind meld!
We muse about the hyper novelty of DMT, from the scientific to the spiritual. Rick shares several personal life-altering mystical experiences that he previously kept private. We also speculate about the role of endogenous DMT in the brain, the nature of consciousness, and mystical experiences. Check out Dr. Strassman's books, including his latest, My Altered States.
