Interview with Rick Strassman! 04/26/14 (Sat) 23:32:35 No. 7744

Hello Fringe Chan!

I am conducting an interview with Dr. Rick Strassman. If you don't know who he is, he is the leading medical researcher on DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine.

I wanted to poll fringechan:

What would you ask Dr. Rick Strassman if you could ask him anything?

And some background:

I am in a class that Dennis McKenna is teaching. If you don't know who he is, he is an ethnopharmacologist and his brother is rather famous. His brother is Terence McKenna. Check them out too, if you don't know them. Very interesting people. Incredibly interesting course.

Thanks Fringe Chan!

Does he know anything of relevance to the occult and our works?

Are you a shillbot?

Yes, he talks a lot about the pineal gland! No, I am not a shill. I am a student at the U of MN doing a project on DMT.

When I am done with the project, I will post here. It will be a video.

What is the spiritual importance of DMT if any? What are the most paranormal occurrences related to the drug he knows of?

Personally, I hate drugs, and will never use them.

Lol, DMT is made endogenously. It really isn't a drug, but a natural occurring substance that the body makes in the Pineal Gland.

Ok well I'd rather will the production of this substance in my body naturally then to acquire it through unnatural means… unless you consider magic unnatural in which case fuck it my point is I am sticking to asceticism.

Nothing? You do realize that this guy's work will influence mankind in a very prolific way!

From the wikipedia article on Rick Strassman:

Dr. Strassman has also noted that the pineal gland first becomes visible at approximately the forty-ninth day of fetal development, nearly exactly the same moment that the gender of the fetus can first be determined.[3] He noted that this was the same length of time that the Tibetan Book of the Dead teaches it takes for the soul of the recently dead to "reincarnate",[4] and that the location of the pineal gland corresponds to the location of the Keter (Crown Sefirah) in Judaism, and the Sahasrara (Crown Chakra) in Ayurveda.[5] He has detailed his research in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule; and a documentary film by the same name, based on this book has also been produced. Dr. Strassman has also conducted similar research using psilocybin, a psychedelic alkaloid found in hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Strassman was the first person in the United States after twenty years of intermission to embark on human research with psychedelic, hallucinogenic, or entheogenic substances.

I wonder what his ideas on THC are. Also, does he think that natural production of DMT by the pineal gland can be proven?
