Joe Rogan Experience #1854 - Rick Strassman

Rick’s a legend. I wrote my high school senior final paper on DMT and Rick was super rеsponsive to my emails and more than willing to help me out

I've been as far as my mind can go and feel so lucky I came back. After like 30 years of drug abuse I'm done.

Can one be too humble? I think to say yes is to misunderstand what it means to be humble. A humble person does not think less of himself, he thinks of himself less.

I had never heard of the floating chamber trip, but… about 8 years ago I was on a nice psilocybin trip while at a grad party. I kept getting pushed in the pool, and this was well into the evening if not early morning, and on the fourth push I just stayed there floating on my back. This was the best 3.5 hours of tripping I’ve ever experienced (minus DMT) floating, staring into the vast universe. Man, to have that moment to live again. There was an early problem that arrived, but soon was dealt with. 80’s pop music could faintly be heard with the ears partially submerged. My gal at the time noticed how peaceful i was floating there and went in the house and put on Pink Floyd “The Wall” making it the perfect night and trip to date! Keep up the phenomenal work Mr. Rogan. Have a nice trip, see you next fall!

"yeah...my family never ate brains" - Rick. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Definitely one of joe rogans top.podcasts

The "wipe the resin off with the sweat" story is just an urban legend. SPIRIT MOLECULE ROCKS. Rick is a delightful guy. Anybody who can handle Joe's free associations and unfalsifiable questions must have a ton of clinical skill!
