This episode focuses on psychedelics, a group of hallucinogenic substances that trigger non-ordinary states of consciousness. Today they're usually known as recreational drugs, but psychedelics have a long history of spiritual use in many cultures around the world.

My guest today is James Davis, founder of Bay Staters for Creative Well-Being, a grassroots community focused on psychedelic advocacy and educating the public about psychedelics. We begin the conversation focusing on how psychedelics were used by ancient cultures, before moving into use in a more modern context.
