DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010)

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 DMTΓΓé¼Γäós scientific, spiritual, and cultural relevance. Ultimately, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality. Although the story revolves around Strassman's research, and the experiences of the human test subjects, the film draws on a variety of experts to voice unique thoughts and experiences with DMT from within their respective fields. The experts include research scientists, doctors, religious leaders, writers, artists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists, psychonauts, et al. As StrassmanΓΓé¼Γäós story unfolds, these contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, indigenous use of DMT, the history and future of psychedelics and psychedelic research, and the current news about DMT; including a recent Supreme Court case allowing the use of ayahuasca in the United States within the religious ceremonies of the UDV, a hybrid of indigenousness beliefs with that of Christianity. Other areas of exploration include possible roles for endogenous DMT production, DMTΓΓé¼Γäós role in near-death and birth experiences, alien abduction experiences, and the uncanny likeness to ancient religious texts describing prophets with DMT-like experiences. The contributors offer a comprehensive collection of information, opinions, and speculation to help understand the nature of the DMT experience, and its role in human society and evolution. In addition to the interviews, the film will feature mind-blowing visualizations of the DMT experience and motion graphics displaying a collection of technical illustrations, charts, and graphs that explain the substanceΓΓé¼Γäós structure and Dr. StrassmanΓΓé¼Γäós physiological findings. We will collaborate, and seek inspiration, from artists like Alex Grey and other Visionary Artists skilled in DMT motivated art to best recreate the visual aspect of the experience. To better navigate the expansive realms of StrassmanΓΓé¼Γäós DMT universe, popular actor, comedian, and social satirist, Joe Rogan, will serve as tour guide. His own personal experiences with DMT, and a fascination that borders on reverence, have motivated him to be a central component of the project. In stylized scenes reminiscent of Rod SterlingΓΓé¼Γäós famous Twilight Zone bookends, Rogan will shepherd the audience through the great unknowns of the DMT space. The subtle combination of science, spirituality, and philosophy make this film, and the DMT experience, provocative. It results in an abundance of incredible ideas and theories that could alter the way humans understand the universe and their relationship to it.

blackmamba56 (2010-11-30)

Great upload mate, been waiting for this for quite some time (and checking daily to see if it was uploaded here). Really great stuff.

hattlely (2010-11-30)

everyone should check this out, then go smoke some if possible

Skypedelic (2010-11-30)

If you like it, please go to the official site http://thespiritmolecule.com/ and buy the DVD via PayPal. It's an indie production so you should support it.

 geogaddi000 (2010-12-01)

Thanks for the upload HIV. But could you please edit your torrent details to include information about the DVD and where to get it? Skypedelic's comment would be a perfect thing to add into the details.

SalvinorinAlpha (2010-12-06)

I have to agree with metalcore. I'm having a ridiculous time trying to play this file. VLC plays it, but it's pretty much unwatchable. Same with quicktime. Someone please convert this to XVID and reupload it!! Thanks!

Skypedelic (2010-12-10)

Plays fine for me too.. I guess there's some special retard version of VLC we don't know of :D

Padmasana (2010-12-20)

Excellent upload. A-10, V-10. Was waiting for this. Thanks a bunch!

Felix360 (2010-12-29)

Audio 10, Video 10.
Played without issue in Windows Media Player on Windows 7, if you have issues try changing the file extension to .mp4.
Lotta truth in this documentary but also a lot of sensationalist bullshitty type presentation kinda like Zeitgeist.

Sugabombs (2010-12-30)

Great upload! Appreciated :) I've been longing to see this.
But does anyone have any subtitles for this? English subtitles. Would be great!

Skypedelic (2011-01-05)

If you aren't going to buy the DVD, consider supporting DMT research for free:

raghmore (2011-01-07)

what is the function of our DMT( pitutary produced), the producers of this film seems to be thinking about this stuff as entertaining ie, media player kinda visualizations.

Skypedelic (2011-01-07)

Media player visuals through human history have attempted to mimic psychedelic abstract visions. Computer geeks in general have always been psychonauts.
The function of endogenous DMT is not known and it is not known to be produced in the pineal gland. It is found in our lungs on the other hand, so this might explain some of the effects of yogic pranayama breathing techniques.

SaltSlasher (2011-02-13)

Wow I read the book way back in Jr. High, and I wanted to read it agian and I found out about the documentary.
I am so excited, it was truely amazing what this man did!
Trust me if you like the video at all, you will love the book!

themartini (2011-02-26)

Great documentary.
Had minor issues with audio synchronicity about halfway through, but seriously, its not gonna ruin something this good.
But still, one of the most amazing documentaries.
WATCH THIS!

themartini (2011-02-26)

Also, the presenter will give you the shits if you have an IQ over 75.

Corrected English subs were released 21/02/2011 and there is a good amount of subs in different languages available, including Finnish and several other former communists:
