My Take
Rick Strassman commands my admiration as a scientist willing to study what most of his peers avoided. A clinical psychiatrist trained at Pomona College and a longtime professor at the University of New Mexico, he brought rigorous methodology to research on DMT, a subject loaded with stigma. I respect that he aimed his intellect at genuine inquiry rather than safety or trend-chasing. There is something Aquarian in his refusal to be bound by orthodoxy. Questions about consciousness sit at the edge of what medicine can measure, and approaching them with both curiosity and discipline takes courage. I value these quiet, principled trailblazers.
