Supporting the Spirit Molecule

The Cottonwood Research Foundation is currently producing a documentary aimed at promoting public awareness about the role of DMT in species evolution.

The Spirit Molecule "weaves an account of Dr. Rick Strassman's groundbreaking DMT research through a multifaceted approach to this intriguing hallucinogen found in the human brain and hundreds of plants. Utilizing interviews with a variety of experts to explain their thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields, and discussions with Strassman’s research volunteers, brings to life the awesome effects of this compound, and far-reaching theories regarding its role in human consciousness and evolution."

The film explores the possible roles for endogenous DMT; its involvement with near-death and birth experiences, alien-abduction encounters; and similarities in Biblical prophetic texts describing DMT-like spiritual awakenings.

Having recently received a generous donation, the project now has the funding to bring it to post-production mode. Designated as a 501c(3) organization, the film hopes to raise the rest of the funding through tax-deductible donations by supporters.  The producers will exchange film credits for donations of $100 or more.
