Episode notes

Therit is an analogue to chemicals that we already make. It's legal in some places, not legal in others. Theres there are medicinal uses for it that should be explored. In the two weeks since recording this episode, denver did indeed decriminalize it. Just like barfing your way through a substrait of manure.

Mushrooms! Psilocybin! Humungous fungus! Black mold! Foraging! The incredibly charming and warm Dr. Tom Volk, world-renown mushroom expert, welcomes Alie into his office to dive deep into the underground world of fungal enthusiasts and touch on pathogens and medicinal therapies. Dr. Volk himself is a heart transplant patient, and shares how his life has been changed since a donor saved it. Also: Alie holds his old heart in her hands.
