Dr. Andrew Gallimore: DMT, Ketamine, and Exploring Different Realities

About this episode

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Andrew Gallimore joins our host Dr. Ted Achachoso to give 1 cent solutions to the following $64,000 questions:
 
  • Does dimethyltryptamine make the brain construct a different reality or does it make the brain perceive a different reality based on the information that it was receiving? 
  • How do molecules such as LSD, DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline switch one's reality from one channel to another
  • Why is the fly agaric psychedelic?  
 
Dr. Andrew Gallimore is a British neurobiologist, chemist, pharmacologist and writer based in Tokyo, Japan. He has been interested in the relationship between psychedelic drugs, the brain, consciousness, and the structure of reality. He has written a couple of books that he illustrated and self-published. His works are Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies, and the Cosmic Game (2019), and Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds (2022).
