Dr. Rick Strassman

Dr. Rick Strassman is a psychiatrist and clinical researcher recognized for conducting the first federally approved psychedelic research in the United States in over twenty years, administering DMT (dimethyltryptamine) to human volunteers at the University of New Mexico. As a guest on late-night radio, his landmark book DMT: The Spirit Molecule documented his subjects' extraordinary experiences - including apparent contact with non-human entities - and reignited scientific interest in psychedelic research.
