About
The Extended-State DMT program (DMTx) was initiated in February 2016 by Daniel McQueen, co-founder of Medicinal Mindfulness. DMTx is based on the cutting edge pharmacokinetic research of Dr. Andrew Gallimore and the revolutionary DMT research of Dr. Rick Strassman. Our DMTx program explores legal psychedelic research and exploration opportunities that are congruent with the needs and interests of the psychedelic community.
Potential applications of Extended-State DMT experiences seem limitless: therapeutic healing, advanced creative problem-solving, consciousness exploration, and explorations in the nature of reality itself.
It is because of the importance of this work that all of us at DMTx wish to share what we are learning with the international psychedelic community and to bring our community into the creation and implementation process of this psychedelic inspired program.
All technical logistics associated with the DMTx program have been resolved and we are ready to step into our first expedition. Our current emphasis is now on fundraising and exploring the few remaining legal hurdles to implement the full DMTx program.
Our first DMTx Psychonaut Cohort was selected in 2018, and have completed three DMTx training retreats, DMTx1 in September 2018, DMTx2 in September 2019, and DMTx3 in September 2021. We are currently regrouping after Covid-19 and considering a new path to DMTx and will initiate a new version of DMTx4 soon. Our next phase will likely be international expeditions in 2023.

The Research
Dmt (n,n-Dimethyltryptamine)
DMT is a powerful psychedelic medicine used throughout history by consciousness explorers. It is found in thousands of plants, such as Mimosa hostilis, traditional psychedelic brews like Ayahuasca, and occurs naturally in the human lungs and brain. When a small dose is smoked or injected, DMT elicits a “more real than real” otherworldly experience, leaving the journeyer with a profound sense of awe and wonder. Many people report significant encounters with hyper-realistic entities and beings that seem alive, aware, intelligent and infinitely complex.
The experience is so intensely “real” that many people question their understanding of reality itself. While there are some risks associated with DMT use, in a skillful and intentional setting, it is not only very safe, but can be an extremely healing experience for users.
Extended-state dmt (dmtx)
The new pharmacokinetic model developed by Dr. Gallimore and Dr. Strassman proposes a way that pure DMT experiences can be safely extended and stabilized. While a typical DMT “flash” lasts about 5-7 minutes, only providing a glimpse of a vastly complex inner experience, the new method uses advanced medical technology to stabilize DMT levels in the blood so that the DMT peak can be extended safely without overdosing or harming the psychonaut.
This is called Extended-State DMT, or DMTx for short. These terms were developed in conversations with Dr. Gallimore about his research so we could best define the experience. The DMTx extended peak would be five times stronger than Ayahuasca and can theoretically last many hours. The acceleration of the entry, the intensity of the peak, and the duration of the DMT experience can literally be programed, or “dialed-in,” even adjusted during the experience, for different therapeutic, advanced problem solving, and consciousness explorations experiences. It can be quickly “turned off” if any safety concerns become apparent, therefore it is unlike any psychedelic experience previously possible. It combines an ancient medicine with advanced medical technology to elicit a brand new type of psychedelic expedition.
+ The Plan...
Our long-term goal is to develop and implement FDA-approved clinical research in Boulder, Colorado, USA, that studies DMT and Extended-State DMT.
In the short term, we will continue to develop the DMTx administration protocol until we can safely meet again for additional training.
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?
+ The Goals...
Our intention is to develop new psychedelic-assisted clinical therapies, develop advanced creative problem solving protocols, explore consciousness and the psyche, to try to define the “realness” of the experience, and to potentially develop a medical device, the “Matrix Machine” (a term invented by Dr. Gallimore) that can be used to safely and effectively administer DMTx experiences by a trained DMTx technician.
Images of machines that project explorers into different “realities” are embedded in our popular sci-fi culture - movies like Total Recall, Contact, The Matrix, Inception, and in the writings of authors like Philip K. Dick. It turns out, these machines might be less science fiction that we thought.
Psychedelic use has a solid history of supporting innovative discovery (think iPhone and DNA), and in this day and age, we need to consider all available options for transforming the Climate Crisis, among other serious concerns. As cool as alternate reality exploration is, and as important as clinical healing modalities are, the primary focus of our work will be to develop advanced problem solving protocols that can be applied to technology development that can help heal our planet.
We intend to share what we learn as we go. We are a signatory of the Statement on Open Science and Open Praxis with Psilocybin, MDMA, and Similar Substances. While we primarily strive to express this expedition safely and from a psychedelic identity perspective, we do not claim ownership of any of these ideas and we will continue to encourage and collaborate with other psychedelic researchers.
These are exciting times and we are deeply called to promote this new model within the larger Psychedelic Renaissance in a safe and sacred way.
DMTx Psychonaut Training Retreat
For how long can someone be in this “space” exploring the territory safely? What skill sets and capacities will be required for the first DMTx Psychonauts? We have developed the DMTx Psychonaut Training Protocol so we can most skillfully and safely explore the inner territory that Extended-State DMT elicits. The first expedition Psychonauts will come from our initial DMTx Psychonaut Trainees.
We were excited to enter into a new phase of this program when the coronavirus decided to change our plans for all of us. We expected setbacks and delays were going to be part of this process but a global pandemic was definitely not something we had considered! While we had successfully completed three retreats, DMTx1, DMTx2, and DMTx3. We are regrouping now and considering sites for our first international DMTx expeditions.
For those of you interested in our program, please contact us using the form below so we can add you to our interested psychonauts list. We are currently upgrading our online DMTx training program and will send out additional information soon. This will be a prerequisite for joining an expedition cohort.
We are very serious about completing this mission, and dealing with a global pandemic isn’t going to stop that. In fact, the significant issues we face today, the pandemic, racism, environmental crises in general, are the primary motivation for our work. This expedition is now needed more than ever and we are committed to making it happen. Please contact us with any questions. We want to hear from you.
