Freemasons Funded Strassman's DMT Research

"In looking over some of the old DMT and schizophrenia research, it appeared that the Scottish Rite Foundation, a branch of the Freemasons, had funded some of it through their Schizophrenia Research program. I asked this program to send an application for funding. My DMT proposal already discussed the importance of understanding DMT's effects in its possible role as an endogenous schizotoxin. Therefore, it took little work to modify the grant to emphasize these issues more clearly.
I wrote Dr. Freedman, telling him of my grant submission to the Scottish Rite Foundation. He replied that he was on their scientific review committee, and "maybe" they would fund a year's support. Within a month, in September 1989, a notification of award arrived announcing a one-year grant for the project.
I again wrote Dr. Freedman, updating him on the search for humangrade DMT. He scribbled a note on my letter and sent a copy of it to the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, one of his former students. His telegraphic missive ended: "Strassman needs someone at NIDA responsive. Any suggestions??..." - (2001, p.113 'DMT the Spirit Molecule' - Rick J. Strassman M.D.)
You can find a .pdf of Strassman's DMT the Spirit Molecule here.
Dr. Strassman mentions the grant from the Scottish Rite Foundation 33 minutes into this video.
What do you think about this?

A friend of mine is a freemason or something. One of those crazy cults.
Coolest mother fucker I ever knew. Can't pry the secrets from him no matter how drunk he is.
Would probably hide a body for me.

Cool.
Schizo Toxin sounds like a good thrash metal band name.

I may or may not come from a long line of Freemasons and be one myself. And I can tell you that they are as harmless as a newborn kitten. It really is a bunch of members of the community who get together and do beautification projects and spend their time at soup kitchens and the like. I have yet to meet a bad Freemason. Your mileage may vary.

My maternal grandfather was a freemason, as is one of my uncles. They're really quite harmless. It amazes me how people zero in on an increasingly shrinking and weakening organization like the freemasons as the people who are "really in control," and not on the corporations and billionaires who quite obviously do exert an inordinate influence on our politics.

My grandfather was a very high-ranking mason. Your argument is invalid.

Freemasons fund all kinds of things with the aim of improving the world. That's what the 33rd degree is all about.

That doesn't invalidate the argument. Everyone knows a Freemason or two and they're usually honest people. That's why it's a pit referring to the Freemasons, for this very reason. He might have been a Grand Poobah at the local lodge, but that's not representative of the organization as a global influence.

That's because they don't have any "global influence" anymore. The last time they had any global influence was when a bunch of them met in Philadelphia to declare independence from Britain. I consider that revolution to have been a positive influence on the world, so if that's what their "global influence" looks like, I'd say we need more of it.

Why does my dad always tell me that the freemasons are the ones controlling the presidents, raising oil prices, and causing every corrupt capitalist conspiracy since John Wilkes Booth?

That's ok. Check out the origins of Santa Claus here. Read it for serious, the whole thing. It will blow your fucking mind.
