In this episode, we dive into the themes of Robert's latest book, Cobweb of Trips, which examines British psychedelia, from its early scientific and literary influences to its impact on society and culture. We explore how psychedelics influence individual and collective experiences, the evolution of the counterculture, and the unique role of LSD in expanding consciousness. Robert shares fascinating stories, including the connection between psychedelics and the concept of the sublime, and the groundbreaking work of pioneers like Aldous Huxley. We also discuss the underground and mainstream psychedelic movements in Britain, the parallels with U.S. developments, and the growing public acceptance of these substances. Tune in for an insightful journey into the history and future of psychedelics!
