Rick Strassman

University of New Mexico clinical psychiatrist who ran the first U.S. government-approved human psychedelic study in a generation - DEA-cleared DMT trials at UNM from 1990-1995 - and wrote DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2001). His volunteers' recurring reports of contact with autonomous "entities" turned the question of whether DMT opens access to a real non-physical realm into a serious research topic.

In the consciousness threadOperator ruling, 25 August 2026, made on this entity alone with its role text in front of him. THE REASON GIVEN: Ran the first U.S. government-approved human psychedelic study in a generation, DEA-cleared, at UNM from 1990 to 1995. Government-approved human consciousness research with a paper trail. Its own role text reads: "linical psychiatrist who ran the first U.S. government-approved human psychedelic study in a generation - DEA-cleared DMT trials at UNM from 1990-1995 - and wrot". Surfaced by a vocabulary scan widened to include consciousness terms, which the 25 August automatic pass did not carry; the ruling, not the match, is what put the subject here. The category axis is untouched: this node stays cat=science.
