The Journal of near-death studies January 1, 2003 James Fadiman, Jordan Gruber 1 citation
A review of Rick Strassman's book, which describes his research on the effects of the psychedelic compound DMT on human volunteers. The book explores how DMT may provide a biological basis for near-death and mystical experiences, drawing on his clinical studies where participants reported encounters with otherworldly entities and profound spiritual states. Strassman, a medical professor, argues that DMT, naturally produced in the brain, could be a key to understanding these phenomena, though the review notes the speculative nature of some claims.
