Hey, I'm Daniel. I study a MSc in Neuroscience at Uni. Leeds. I write an E-Zine called @NeuroSupremacy. It's all about the brain. Obvs.

I think you should read my interview with the lostprophets, or my interview with Zebrahead or maybe my report on Andrew Fenlon...or even his response to my report. I met Jedward once too, they suck. Read the interview with my childhood hero Danny Smith! I also just interviewed Chris Ramsey, a cool comedian. Oh and OK GO! sexy band. I just reviewed day 1 and day 2 of Infest 2010. I covered Bingley Music Live where I interviewed The Blackout and Dan Le Sac & Scroobius Pip. I just interviewed Less Than Jake.

My favourite tryptamines; serotonin has nothing on dimethyltryptamine

I want to introduce you all to Psilocybinthe active ingredient in magic mushrooms. Once ingested the body removes a phosphorous atom and it becomes Psilocin.

Psilocin differs from my favourite tryptamine “di-methyl-tryptamine” by only one oxygen molecule and whilst both being illegal is probably a lot easier to get a hold of than DMT, not that i’m advocating it in anyway. Rick Strassman, the world’s leader on DMT research calls Psilocin “orally active DMT”.

DMT is a very very very interesting drug - endogenous in the human body at both birth and death. It causes some of the most profound and vivid hallucinations compared to other tryps. 

Whilst DMT is endogenous in humans at birth and death it is also found in other animals and even in plants which allows it to be harvested and made into a powder or tea for oral consumption. The effects and hallucinations are always immense and what is more shocking is they seem to have trends. For example, people who have near death experiences still have a flood of DMT and report things like a bright light, a tunnel, floating above their body etc. How strange that people who have never met from all corners of the world claim very similar things? Well it’s about to get weirder.

Dr Rick Strassman administered hundreds of doses of DMT to healthy adults to see what would happen. After a very long battle with ethics committee’s he was approved and went on with his work. I would like to quote to you some of the reports from his book;

Reports of DNA

“There were spirals of what looked like my DNA, red and green”

“the visuals were dropping back into tubes like protozoa, like the inside of a cell, seeing the DNA twirling and spiralling. It was like a microscopic view of them”

“There was a spiral DNA tpe thing made out of incredibly bright cubes”

“I felt the DMT release my soul’s energy and push it through the DNA”

“There were 3-D circles and cones with shading, they moved a lot. I felt like there was some information in it, like it was data, it wasn’t just random”

“It’s like threads of words or DNA”

There were other trends including the appearance of clowns, futuristic rooms and beings trying to communicate. The most interesting trend found however was that the participants feel like they were transported to another place, where the people who were there were trying to make them better and knew they didn’t have a long time to do it. I know how farfetched these claims are so go read them yourself in Dr Strassman’s book “DMT – The Spirit Molecule”.
