Dmt:The Spirit Molecule

Highly recommended to those who want to know conciousness & human brain relation & what we experience in deep meditation.

First of all, this book makes me wonder why the governments wouldn't legalize everything, or rather, stop trying to control every thing in the world; let people choose their paths, themselves! There is one thing you should know. This book is a compilation of/based on research. This is not yet another book that talks about God, or salvation, or a classic babaji's talk about detachment etc. This book is about the similarities and some dissimilarities about different *volunteers'* experiences after clinical administration of DMT. This book, I felt, was a bit over narrative, but left me with questions and a dire urge to connect the volunteers' experiences with the Tibetan book of the dead, my own personal experiences and all. You will need to be patient, and have an open mind when you read this book. I had a strong urge to dismiss while at about 10% of the content. Pushing myself, I really felt good for having read a book that gave me a completely new perspective of life, death and everything in between.

I REALLY appreciate dr Rick strassman's work and his theories but the book is really boring bcoz the writing is not in a fluid style and a lot of non relevant information is being given like the method of obtaining permission for this experiment rather than diving straight into the subject matter

The book was as per the description.

Nice compliled

This is the first time I have left a review for a book i have read. I literally cannot put in to words how fascinating this book is! I was worried I might not understand a lot of it with it being written by a scientist and thought the scientific jargon would be to much for me but the Author wrote this so well it was really clear and easy to understand. I cannot stop thinking about this book and talking about it with family and friends! I don’t think I have been as interested in anything as much as this subject and now I’m exited to read more on alien abductions and much More that was discussed in this book.

It's a great book if you are into the history of psychedelic research or scientific experiments and protocols. The book is interesting because the author describes his first-person experience, doubts and thinkering as a researcher, in experimenting and analyzing such out-of-the-ordinary phenomenon. The book does not provide updated information on DMT, and a big part of it contains hypothetical thinking, (without enough evidence).

Great

Impressive book. It covers all aspects of Strassman's research and was very interesting, unfortunately, there are no real answers as to what a DMT experience actually is - I was led to believe, by others, that this book had the answers. You are given a lot of info and anecdotes, and Strassman's theories, but you need to come to your own conclusions (just like most other things in life). Still, I learned a lot and found it an enjoyable read (except the last couple of chapters which are a bit depressing). Strassman writes in an open, honest, and down-to-Earth way that makes it easy to read even when he's talking about convoluted scientific challenges, dealing with the FDA/DEA, or the "spiritual journeys" of his subjects. An important book for anyone interested in hallucinogens (or planning official research on psychedelics) or curious about what "near-death experiences" actually are.

It opened my mind into many related questions of humanity. There are not certain answers but it gave me certain questions , new ideas and better understanding of how different are drugs and how we classified them as one when they are all different. A new pathway to look forward better psychological support. I won’t say how good or bad the book was, It is what this scientific has to offer and I’m glad he dedicated his life for future generations to keep understanding our own evolution , our own propose , our position in the universe.
