Summary
Here is a quick message from Daniel:
A few years ago we started a community gathering and speaker series called Psychedelic Shine, and it was through this project that I met Dr. Rick Strassman, Dr. Dennis McKenna, and Dr. Andrew Gallimore, to name a few. The process of creating psychedelic inspired programs, meeting innovative leaders in the field, and also the inner exploration this work requires, were all factors that initiated this journey into exploring Extended-State DMT research. It has been a wild and wonderful ride ever since, and we're excited to step into the next stage of this work. It is our intention to create a sustainable, multi-generation DMT research program that is both congruent with scientific inquiry, as well as with the creative and spiritual interests and values of the psychedelic community. We believe Extended-State DMT research is as much an expedition as it is a scientific experiment. We believe it is both deeply inspiring and practically feasible.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_rrjBD16_0]

About Daniel McQueen
Daniel earned a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa and received advanced training in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy through a year internship with the MAPS Boulder MDMA for PTSD Study. It was his experience with MAPS that inspired Daniel to explore alternative visions in psychedelic activism and entrepreneurship. Daniel bridges transpersonal paradigms with the grounded clinical and organizational skills necessary to begin addressing the significant ecological and mental health crises facing our society today. Although Daniel no longer practices as a clinical psychotherapist, he supports his clients as a teacher, coach, ally and event facilitator, providing individual and group transformational experiences and deeply held intentional conversations. In his practice, Daniel quickly realized that the most important intervention he could provide to his clients, who were isolated and longed for meaningful contact with others, was a sense of community. Medicinal Mindfulness is, in a very real way, a cultural intervention that provides a safe and transformational community container for healing and awakening… a program based on skill development and not dogma. Since 2012, Daniel has been teaching a psychedelic harm prevention and intentional psychedelic use course called Mindful Journeywork. Since the legalization of recreational cannabis in Colorado, he has been facilitating Conscious Cannabis Circles and individual cannabis journeys. 
In addition to his work with Medicinal Mindfulness, Daniel has a successful spirituality and life coaching practice with his wife, Alison, through their company, Aspenroots Counseling LLC. Highly skilled in identifying and cultivating giftedness in young people and supporting significant life transitions, Daniel is inspired to support passionate and talented individuals striving to live into their calling. A primary focus of his practice involves assessing and addressing the benefits and difficulties related to psychedelic and cannabis use and misuse. Daniel co-founded the Naropa Alliance for Psychedelic Studies and helped organize the first annual Psychedelic Symposium at Naropa University in 2012. He is currently working with Grounding Solutions, Inc. to develop a natural rescue medicinal for users of psychedelics and cannabis. Our online course, 'Navigating Psychedelics: Lessons on Self-Care & Integration" will keep you and your friends safer. Just say KNOW to drugs.

| 0:00.0 | Here we are with Daniel McQueen. |
| 0:11.4 | Daniel, thanks for joining us again. |
| 0:13.0 | Yeah, it's great to be back. |
| 0:15.0 | Today we are going to be chatting about a really interesting subject. |
| 0:21.9 | DMTX. |
| 0:24.7 | Really excited to get into it with you because this is something you kind of clued us into a few months ago |
| 0:29.8 | and you even invited me down to do some live stream in Boulder |
| 0:33.0 | around your kind of launch of the idea. |
| 0:36.9 | So can you give us just a really quick picture of what DMTX is? |
| 0:43.1 | Sure. Yeah. |
| 0:45.5 | DMTX, that's like the shorthand, how we type it and share it in kind of unofficial ways. |
| 0:54.2 | The official term is extended state D&T. |
| 1:03.0 | And it was a model proposed by Dr. Andrew Gallimore and Dr. Rick Strassman to create an extended state dimethyl |
| 1:14.0 | tritamine experience. One of the biggest complaints around DMT experience, like pure |
| 1:20.8 | DMT experiences, as opposed to DMT and ayahuasca, is that it's very short acting, either if you inject it intravenously |
| 1:30.8 | or like what Rick Strassman did in the original spirit molecule studies, or if you smoke it, |
| 1:39.0 | that the peak only lasts five to seven minutes. And so it can be a very big experience, but sometimes very confusing, given the short duration |
| 1:50.0 | and intensity. |
| 1:51.0 | And so the D&T, extended state D&T research proposal that Dr. Gallamore wrote about and that we are |
| 2:00.0 | looking to step into is to use a target-controlled |
| 2:05.6 | intravenous infusion technology. It's this little medical pump that's used in anesthesiology |
| 2:12.6 | and also in like chemotherapies and other treatments, even ketamine treatments. |
