Yes absolutely, this book deals with a serious human experience and current issue in society. Just what do we experience in the DMT space? This book will dissolve all your wrong notions about psychadelics from government propaganda. And also highlight just how beneficial these things can be. At the very least, how much further study is urgently needed. Even if you don't plan to use any plant drugs, it's worthy information to absorb.

The Cosmic Serpent. Like that book, this book is something of a detective story. It follows the path of a scientist who stumbles onto the DMT trail, and is rightly absorbed and compelled to study it.In both cases we see proof that there really is something here to study, and it should no longer be regarded as taboo, or fringe, but rather a frontier we must advance into.

Though most people point to the obvious section of peoples' experiences, I personally enjoyed the entire journey of the book, including the torturous anticipation of that climax. It was very educational and informative about the barriers both social and bureaucratic that stand in the way of rational study of psychedelic drugs.

Simply an amazing book.

It 's detailed description of the mechanisms of DMT, its structural similarities to other hallucinogenic compounds and the resulting clinical manifestations of controlled studies.

How government regulation and political motivations affect scientific research.

Too many to list...

Hallucinogenics: Unlocking the Human Spirit

Well researched with a good story line. Technical in nature-might need a couple of replays for non-scientific individuals.

i have seen both a pdf and a hardcopy library version of the book, and i was waiting for the CD's but decided i wanted it NOw so downloaded it...funny i am waiting for James Faddiman on C2CAM in a few hours, and a passage just occurred where Strassman hooks up with Fadiman!

What an interesting listen!
I loved this book. Especially the descriptions of the various experiences of the test subjects. It really blows your mind to even merely consider the theories being presented here. I hope to soon see more books in this category.
Five stars all the way!

What a great amount of information. Something i had already expected through my own experiences, are now confirmed...

I enjoyed the author's perseverance to perform research in spite of all the red tape and government opposition. I was fascinated that the author admits he was ultimately unprepared for the consistent responses DMT caused during the trials.

the highly detailed story

Did not increase it: it answered most of my questions

by giving lots of detail

nothing

from the informative book ,one of the best indeed!

both the scientific and spiritual parts are eye opening!

Make you start considering things in a very different way, and also is an awareness starter!

most read! if you have miscegenation about psychedelic drugs this is the book to start learning.

Great book for anyone interested in how medical studies are done and the difficulty that researchers encounter when attempting to conduct studies. The subject matter and the similar reactions the patients have is just icing on the cake and but if you are looking for the final word, you won't find it here, just more questions and hoping that more will come.
