In this episode, we dive deep into the weird but beautiful experiences of drugs.  Mesci, a recreational pharmacologist and veteran drug user, recounts his top five most memorable trips.  While he presents both the pleasant and the not so pleasant experiences of these wonders, they are all entertaining nonetheless.  My goal with this conversation was to be as informative and educational as possible as well as practice and advance harm reduction (which I'm a big proponent of btw!).
