HAMILTON MORRIS: Sensory deprivation tanks were
originally designed as a scientific instrument.
It was hoped that they could be used as a tool for
isolating the human mind from environmental interference,
eliminating input and output so that nothing remained but
cognition in its purest form.
JOE ROGAN: It's great for everything, man.
It's great for your mind.
It's relaxing.
It's great for your body.
All your muscles just sort of lengthen out and unwind.
Because you're floating, you know?
It's like a zero gravity atmosphere.
BRANDON: There's a lot of mental space to explore.
I call it the innerverse.
And when you have the right environment, it gives you the
freedom to explore that space.
BEN: I was 300 pounds, smoked a bunch of cigarettes, ate
lots of fast food, mostly fast food.
The main moment of my deciding I was going to change ***
happened like a week after my first isolation tank
experience.
So I definitely think that it's been beneficial in my own
transformation.
CRASH: The stigma that pertains to this industry has
to do with this hippie kind of a person.
These are not your grandma's people coming into the float
chamber no more.
HAMILTON MORRIS: I want to be more of a hard-hitting
journalist and keep asking really tough questions.
Have you tried smoking DMT in it?
JOE ROGAN: No.
HAMILTON MORRIS: All right.
Is there anything else we should do down here?
JOE ROGAN: Down here, no.
HAMILTON MORRIS: I don't want to see any of these trees,
this spectacular view, I want to see nothing but blackness
and to feel a complete loss of sensation in my skin and body.
That's what I'm looking for.
What day is it?
