“This podcast is like a university course, a rally, a conversation with an elder and a new friend all in one. We need this in our lives, drugs will always be a part of society, we owe it to ourselves to be more educated about them. Thank you for this podcast, I’ve leaned so much and told many...”Read full review »

“Understanding the history of psychoactive substances is lacking by policymakers. The indigenous uses of these substances for thousands of years shouldn’t be ignored. The cultural and social benefits end up list with policies that encourage illicit concentrations.”

“I hope this podcast can find its audience. I get why it’s not a great fit for iHeart and that’s probably not the best vehicle for this content anyway. It doesn’t fit in super well next to the 500 podcasts about psychedelics that are super woo woo and spiritual and inevitably corny. This one is...”Read full review »
