Rick Strassman, an American clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He has held a fellowship in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California San Diego and was Professor of Psychiatry for eleven years at the University of New Mexico. After 20 years of intermission, Strassman was the first person in the United States to undertake human research with psychedelic, hallucinogenic, or entheogenic substances with his research on N,N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as DMT. He is also the author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which summarizes his academic research into DMT and other experimental studies of it, and includes his own reflections and conclusions based on this research. Rick joins me to discuss his latest book The Psychedelic Handbook, a comprehensive and concise guide to psychedelics and how to use them Safely. Rick shared his journey, discussing his research on Melatonin and the Pineal Gland, and how that led to his focus on DMT.
