    I just watched it for the first time the other day I found it really informitive but slow in parts. I love how Joe Rogan is in it, I loved his youtube rant about DMT.

    I enjoyed the documentary! i thought it was very insightful..gives people a better understanding of what DMT is.

    And is this the vid you watched? (it's split into parts on youtube) ..Just making sure i'm on the same page cause there seem to be a few other vids about DMT haha

    I thought there was a weird vibe when Dr. Strassman was speaking. I'm sensing some regrets in how he conducted the experiments.

    He did regret it because he was going about it in a purely scientific way and realized that DMT is not something that can be measured by any scientific manner. It goes beyond all scientific comprehension and should not be treated as an experiment but a life changing experience. He regretted going about it all the wrong way and I sense that he feels that he was neglecting the true nature of DMT. It's something that he will work out in his own time. I don't think that he should feel that way. He simply just did not know what he was getting into and everyone makes mistakes. He is a brilliant man for doing those studies even though he ultimately regretted his intentions. He still did a wonderful thing.

    I agree. do you think he himself has smoked it though? I don't think they mention it...

    No he had not smoked DMT before the time of the study, it mentions it in the book. He had to go through tons of legal loopholes to get the study approved and funded. I think he probably felt it was probably a lot to go through for the minimal scientific results produced.

    Minimal results in the scientific world but amazing understanding of the chemical and how it reacts and changes people. A prime example of it's power that was conducted under lab conditions which makes the accounts a little more solid that someone writing a trip report on some random website. Not that one is anymore dismissive than another but it really opened the eyes of some people about this substance.

    Yeah I heard about the hoops. It took years I think. I've never done DMT (yet :p) but from what I've heard trying to explain it in a movie is an impossible task. I feel like a total poser saying this, but (apparently) it's beyond anything we can explain or describe with our human ways.

    But you guys would know better than me ;)

    Its probably a great step in bringing it back to the mainstream. If there's one thing about the Leary generation, it's that they very much succeeded in demonizing the psychedelic community with the whole ''us against them'' mentality.

    This is a great first step in reintegrating it.

    ^ my thoughts as well.

    I didnt benefit from watching it very much, i could see how were not that impressed stoned sam. But its a good start. I wouldnt really reccomend it to anyone that is experienced with dmt, but i think its good for people that are interested in it and havnt been able to try it yet. Or even people that have tried it recently and are having trouble understanding what the hell just happened to them.

    For people experienced with dmt, like i said in a recent post, I highly reccomend "Enter The Void". The part about dmt is breif, but its pretty cool, and the rest of the movie isnt specifically about dmt but it deffinitely applies.

    Maybe it doesn't benefit someone whom is familar with dmt but it does imply some very good points to the scientific community that dmt isn't some hokey drug that gets people fucked up or just a load of hippy mumbo jumbo/ new age spritual garble/ psychonaut burn out shit and that there is so much more about it to be explored.

    Thats a good movie! And like I said, if DMT is anything like they show in the movie, it must be beautiful!

    its the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life. Its way more beautiful than anything my little human brain could come up with thats for sure. I know this because if I was capable of imagining anything as beautiful as what i saw, i would have painted it by now. And so vivid, so real, so detailed and complete.
