Episode notes

Many psychodalics operate through the tonean system. If i've a seratone in and balance, am i at some kind of special risk, or do we not even know? People n an s s r i will not be admitted to these trials. And the reason is not that there's a counter indication that it would make you sick or do something bad to you, but it won't work. The psychadelic often won't work if you're on an s sr i. So people who want to take them would need to taper off them. But that carries its own risks. Of course, of suicide.

Michael Pollan has long been fascinated by nature and the ways we connect and clash with it, with decades of writing covering food, farming, cooking, and architecture. Pollan's latest fascination? Our widespread and ancient desire to use nature to change our consciousness.

He joins Tyler to discuss his research and experience with psychedelics, including what kinds of people most benefit from them, what it can teach us about profundity, how it can change your personality and political views, the importance of culture in shaping the experience, the proper way to integrate it into mainstream practice, and - most importantly of all - whether it's any fun.
