In this episode I talk with historian and drug researcher Norman Ohler about his past research on Nazi use of methamphetamine and his new book about his mother's use of LSD to help alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

(The Kykeon Analytics - https://www.kykeonanalytics.com/ - ad had a mistake in which I said that results are made publicly available for harm reduction purposes. In fact, Kykeon orders samples from different NPS vendors and posts the results on their site, which is really interesting and I recommend checking out. To be clear, however, your submissions to them are completely anonymous and will be reported to you alone.)

In this interview I talk with lawyer Jordan S. Rubin about his new book Bizarro, which chronicles the work of two synthetic cannabinoid entrepreneurs who found themselves ensnared in a law so confusing the DEA's own experts can't agree on how it should be interpreted.
