Produced by Mitch Schultz, Andrew Lee, and Rick Strassman MD, “DMT: The Spirit Molecule” investigates dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an endogenous psychoactive compound, which exists in humans as well as in numerous species of plants and animals. The feature-length documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman’s government sanctioned human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, achievements, and inconceivable realizations. This includes looking deeper into the intense psychedelic experience that DMT causes when consumed, and examining DMT’s scientific, spiritual, and cultural relevance. Ultimately, “The Spirit Molecule” explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality.
Joe Rogan serves as tour guide, navigating the expansive realms of Strassman’s DMT universe in stylized scenes reminiscent of Rod Sterling’s Twilight Zone bookends.
“The Spirit Molecule,” a simple molecule with enormous implications, could alter the way we understand the nature of reality and our relationship to it.
