Whats up Pub
A recent unexpected but appreciated breakthrough into dmt space has sparked an obsession with this unbelievable molecule 
I just got the Rick Strassman book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule" (but wont be able to read it until after finals  )
Anyways, who out there has read it
What do you think of it
Have a Good Day

I read it through and through a couple of times. One of my favorite books ever. Entirely fascinating! I can't think of a better gift to get yourself. Now I just wish I could get my paws on some dmt!!!!!!

Maybe I'll have to obtain it the hard way too. So I assume it worked alright for you?

what makes you think that? why ban mhrb when dmt is such an obscure drug. I've never met anyone irl who has even heard of it, let alone tried it.
Phishgrrl - The extraction really isn't that difficult. Anyone with the patience and determination to do it right, can get some quality results...and it is DEFINITELY worth the effort.
Slipknot420 - excellent book. After my first breakthrough, I immediately bought the book. The chapters on the pineal gland are quite fascinating.

I have heard this is a kickass book, but haven't read it yet for some reason. I listened to the interview of Dr. Strassman right around the time the book came out, and even THAT was amazing. Enjoy.
SS7, enjoy your book as well.

it was a great book, and immediatly after I read it I read Terrence McKennas Food of the gods, which is a great companion book.

It's a neat book because he catalogues the elemental DMT experiences, and this kind of thing is pretty cool. It's not terribly deep, though. The author seems incapable of integrating what he learned with.. anything, which is always frustrating. Another annoying thing is he makes some bold claims, such as "DMT is released when you die" but doesn't back it up with any mention of a study or how one would study such a thing. A lot of the DMT "facts" that people spout about DMT being there when you are born and 44 (or whatever) days after conception seem to come from this book, but he doesn't care to go into detail and so I wonder if that's all bullshit he's made up.
I'd like to read The Antipodes of the Mind: Phenomenology of the Ayahuasca Experience by Benny Shannon. Actually you just reminded me I got to go order that one in. I have high hopes for it as I've heard it is much more extensive than Strassman's stuff.
