Shane Mauss (stand-up comedian, psychonaut, science enthusiast) and Mikhaila Peterson discuss their experiences with psychedelics, some of the pseudo-science behind these trips, and how they both encountered “the purple lady” while experimenting with different substances. Mikhaila talks about her experience meeting the purple lady, they discuss Shane’s background, his exploration of science through his “Here We Are Podcast,” and some of his serious struggles when he created his documentary, “Psychonautics: A Comic’s Exploration of Psychedelics.”
