Why can't they just use an intravenous drip?

I think they are [0]:

> "Using pharmacokinetic modeling and DMT blood sampling data, we demonstrate that the unique pharmacological characteristics of DMT, which also include a rapid onset and lack of acute tolerance to its subjective effects, make it amenable to administration by target-controlled intravenous infusion. This is a technology developed to maintain a stable brain concentration of anesthetic drugs during surgery."

edit: I guess that isn't a drip. I know nothing about this sort of thing :)

IV drip doesn’t have the amount of fine regulation and monitoring necessary to keep someone in the DMT state. Last I heard they were planning to get a dialysis machine to do it.
