Thorbahn is one of the first in a class of so-called “psychonauts” exploring new frontiers in hallucinogenic research, preparing to use a technology called extended-state DMT. When the drug is smoked, a trip lasts minutes—despite feeling much longer. But with a constant stream of DMT supplied to a user and blood serum levels of the molecule regulated, that trip can last hours or even days—seemingly an eternity.
The method might give Thorbahn and other psychonauts enough time to bring back detailed trip reports of their experience. An intriguing aspect of DMT experiences is a degree of similarity. The landscapes and beings can be recognizable to different users (a mechanical elf is a popular recurring visitor). And for Thorbahn, the trips seem “more real than real,” a quote heard often in DMT-experimenting circles. Advocates of extended-state programs want to know whether these experiences illuminate a new corner of the mind, even another dimension—or whether users are just getting really high.
Thorbahn, who has a background in biology and chemistry and runs an organic soil company in Colorado, was driving a highway late one night while listening to a psychedelics podcast when he first heard about the extended-state DMT program, DMTx, offered by Medicinal Mindfulness. The latter organization, founded in 2012 in Boulder, Colorado, by two psychotherapists, is a psychedelic therapy clinic and provides cannabis and ketamine-assisted sessions, claiming to have helped treat trauma, depression, and “feelings of meaninglessness.” Its website emphasizes that the clinic “fully complies with all local and Colorado State cannabis laws, and all federal regulations.” DMTx is a new offshoot, founded in 2016 with a long-term goal to “develop and implement FDA-approved clinical research” into DMT, according to its website. In the meantime, the website reads, “While we’ll continue to follow stringent safety protocols, working outside some of the cultural constraints of the FDA allows us to explore a model that is congruent with the passionate interests of the psychedelic community. Namely, to explore the important question: What in the world is really going on here?”

Now I find that we are trading spaces
Between ourselves
Among and with others
Intertwining and ever changing
Within time and space
Forevermore running into linear spaces

::yesterday, I went with @kirlian-light to a local park while tripping the light fantastic on an 8th of shr00mz and planted some potatoes there
::the other day the polycule, we, Kirlian, & @izukuleeyoung, made homemade fries (they were delicious), but we waited so long to make them that the potatoes we used had sprouted eyes. we were talking about how resilient potatoes are and how we could grow new potatoes from the eyes. i had already been planning to go trip in the park this Sunday...but the prospect of planting the potatoes intrigued me.
::so, i decided i would spend part of my Sunday creating an anarchist potato garden in the park. it was...very gratifying work, honestly. i think this kindled a love of gardening in me. I've always wanted to learn gardening, but i never took any opportunity to learn before. it was peaceful. it was serene. it made me feel like i had purpose. it felt like i was changing the world, one plant at a time.
::and it was a relatively painless task too (aside from my spoon digging into my hand); potatoes, they can grow anywhere. heck they birthed new babies sitting on a shelf in our hotel room. that's honestly incredibly cool?? life creates itself, even in the harshest of conditions. life is self-fulfilling. and we play a part in aiding life, one eye at a time, one fed person from publicly available potatoes at a time, one life at a time at LEAST.
::i'm gonna learn to do more gardening in the future. i'm going to fill the world with free food sources so people in my position (& worse) don't have to starve.
::and, i know even more strongly now one thing. potatoes survive--they could survive in space if they wanted to do so! they're resilient. they adapt to their conditions and environments, no matter where they are. and i need to be like the potato.
::if you ever see me say "i'm a potato," know that it won't be a joke. it'll be a statement of survival. i mean it from the bottom of my heart. i must be like the potato.
::BTW, the trip was wonderful. i didn't find what i wanted, but maybe i found what i needed.

Day 14: The Edinburgh Festival: Dream Machine
Day 14: The Edinburgh Festival: Dream Machine
My memory.
Dream Machine is a free experience provided partly by the Edinburgh Festival but presented by Unboxed (it runs until late September at Murrayfield Ice Rink in Edinburgh).
It’s actually a massive scientific experiment into neurology but it’s also one of the most astounding experiences you will ever experience in your life.
And it has been described as state-sponsored psychedelic…

"Strassman, a clinical research psychiatrist specializing in psychedelic research and author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, is on the vanguard of studying that phenomenology. While the whole idea of studying extended trips may seem kooky to some, Strassman explained to me via email that there can be real scientific benefit to extended-state experiments. DMT is produced endogenously in mammals, meaning our brains make the molecule. But we have a much lower tolerance to DMT compared to other psychedelics like LSD. How or whether DMT fits into our natural physiology is an open question. Strassman wants to know if there is a DMT neurotransmitter system—like with serotonin and dopamine—and whether one’s tolerance or lack thereof plays a role in naturally occurring psychosis such as schizophrenia."
