  • Bestselling author Michael Pollan and ethnopharmacologist Dennis McKenna, to discuss our relationship with what we call ‘drugs’.
    Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics (2018) has transformed the conversation around the use of psychedelics in culture, law, therapy and science in the West.
    In his new book, Michael shares his personal enquiry into three mind-changing molecules: - a sedative, a stimulant, and a hallucinogen that any of us might well be growing in our gardens or drinking right now: morphine in the opium poppy, caffeine in coffee and tea, and mescaline produced by the peyote and San Pedro cacti.
    Dennis has written a forward to his late brother’s, Terence McKenna, recently reissued landmark of psychedelic literature, The Food of the Gods, which explores what altered states of consciousness reveal about our origins and our place in nature?

    Minute 33: there is no such thing as a bad trip.
    Exactly what I always say to people who are affraid of psylocibine because 'it can be bad'
    I consider psychedelica as a sacred medicine. A sacred experience that require good preparation and the right intention and setting. I got rid of a 'stone' I carried with me for years. Was freed from this trauma when I took a small dose of truffels together with a friend in nature. Still thankfull ❤️

    6:52 "My brother was very good at working the Matrix so he had DMT."... I like that phrasing.

      I’m wondering the same thing was this just a video error? I was at the event and don’t recall the question or response being anything odd. There’s also another question after this one I asked about Kratom not here either

      @@PsychedelicEthics perhaps the LSA contained in the widely available morning glory seeds has something to do with it. in pollan's new book he writes about its LEGAL to have poppy pods but knowing you can make a tea with both codeine and morphine(low potency) is ILLEGAL. the knowledge is illegal. thats some brave new world/1984 shit.

      What these people have to say is way more substantial and important.

    The monetization will initially be similar to ketamine clinics opening where is like $10k for 5 visits and three “guided” trips.

      Ron White also talked about an ayahuasca place he went to in Costa Rica to kick his alcohol habit. The owner bought part of a I think Marriott resort area and that’s the facility now. You pay a few thousand for a week and your meals are done, you can have a private room, beautiful resort basically, and then you trip a few of the days there.

    What are they saying in "hyperspace?" Name a topic of "the soul;" think of something "of the soul" that isn't tied to this reality! Everything is thought of as "tending" the living and that is absurd! There is no picking up the lingo of "hyperspace" and slinging it around; nobody has brought back a single transcendental concept, they've all been tied to this shit show!
