Chapters: SIU Student History

Brock, Ben, Josh, and Ryan are joined by a guest from the past! Well kind of. Brock continues the history of psychedelics, including Nixon's war on drugs, and their recent revival for research in their potential medical uses. Part 2 of 2!

SIU Senior Brock Renshaw sits down with Ben, Josh, and guest co-host Ryan to discuss the fascinating history of psychedelic drugs, including natural hallucinogens found in Meso-America to Dr. Albert Hoffman's discovery of LSD in the 1930s and 40s. Brock focuses on the early and middle twentieth century where psychedelics were being studied for their medical benefits, at least until a couple of government experiments and a Harvard professor went a little overboard. Part one of a two part series!

2020 Chapters host Ben and overseeing instructor, Professor Joseph Sramek sit down and talk about the upcoming debut Chapters, a podcast celebrating and sharing student historical research.
