What Is Happening in the Brain During a DMT Trip?

Rick Strassman is a psychiatrist and researcher best known for conducting the first FDA-approved human studies on DMT in the 1990s at the University of New Mexico. His groundbreaking research explored the neurological and psychological effects of the powerful psychedelic compound, ultimately leading to his book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule." Joe brought him on to discuss the science behind DMT experiences, consciousness, and the philosophical implications of his research findings. Strassman's work remains one of the most credible scientific investigations into how psychedelics affect the human brain and perception.
