Startup Trying to Test Whether People on DMT Experience a Shared Alien Universe

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine is also known as the "god molecule" and is said to produce vivid and strange visions for many who take it.

There is a new extended-state version of the powerful drug. They want to see if people are actually entering a shared alternate dimensions when they take the stuff.

According to The New Republic, a Colorado-based startup is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration to study a version of DMT that will induce users trips far longer.

Studies suggest our brains produce the drug naturally and that those who have taken it often experience variations on the same theme: entering what seems to be another plane or realm with its own ethereal beings.

While the majority of people who've taken DMT report a positive experience, the relatively short trip length means that any contact people claim to have with these beings doesn't last too long.

MedicinalMindfulness is hoping to shorten the trip via IV drips to hours or even days, which would make it last for a long time on the other side.

As of now, DMT is only allowed for certain research purposes in the US, but states like New York and Colorado are looking to make it legal more often.

Some of the experiments the group hopes to achieve following FDA approval will look into whether two people hooked to IV drips in different rooms can communicate.

It would be surprising and suggest that what we know about reality and consciousness is not complete. It would be so crazy that it would be hard to believe.

We will definitely be watching as unlikely as that would be.
