Alien Insect

Psychedelic science education platform founded by British neurobiologist and pharmacologist Andrew R. Gallimore in Tokyo, focused on the neuroscience of DMT, consciousness, and psychedelic pharmacology. Gallimore co-authored a landmark 2016 paper with Rick Strassman proposing target-controlled intravenous DMT infusion for sustained immersive experiences, and publishes the Alien Insect On Drugs Substack alongside immersive educational workshops.

Blossom’s read

Alien Insect is a niche, intellectually serious psychedelic education platform centred on DMT, brain science and consciousness, with a distinctly Gallimore-led point of view. It is best for curious-public learners and self-directed practitioners who want a free, research-heavy overview rather than a formal qualification. Its reputation rests more on Andrew R. Gallimore’s academic and authorial lineage, including his work with Rick Strassman, than on institutional accreditation.

Who is Alien Insect for?

Best for curious learners, psychonauts with a science bent, and aspiring practitioners who want a grounded overview of psychedelic neuroscience. It is less suited to anyone seeking regulated clinical training or a credentialled professional pathway.

What do you need before you start?

No formal prerequisites are published for the online course. The provider does not publish a licensure requirement or entry screening for the course content.

Is Alien Insect accredited?

Alien Insect does not publish accredited certification, CME, CE credit, or other formal professional recognition for the course. The course is presented as a free educational offering rather than a credential programme.

How much does it cost?

The core online course is described as entirely free and available on YouTube. The site also sells books and other items separately, but it does not publish a single tuition price for the course itself.

What do you walk away with?

Learners get a broad, science-led understanding of how psychedelics affect the brain and mind, from molecules and receptors to networks and world-building. The main outcome is knowledge and conceptual fluency, not a formal certificate.
