Netflix released a new documentary series last week, How to Change Your Mind, based on Michael Pollan’s book by the same name about psychedelics and medicine. The next episode of PSYCHOACTIVE, out Thursday, is my interview with Rick Doblin, who has played a pioneering role in psychedelics research and advocacy for four decades. He is featured in episode 3 of the 4-part Netflix series. Today, however, we’re reposting the PSYCHOACTIVE episode from last year in which I talked with Michael Pollan about his personal journey with psychedelics as well as his most recent book, This is Your Mind on Plants, which focuses on caffeine, mescaline and opium.
