In this first part of a larger series of the War on Drugs and the implications it has had on the substance abuse crisis, I talk about psychedelics - specifically psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, and LSD. In this episode I talk about the history of these infamous drugs, the effect they have on the brain, and some research studies that show promise in the efficacy of these compounds being used as psychotherapeutic wonder drugs.
