Plant Psychedelics in the English Courts - Charlotte Walsh

Human ingestion of psychedelic plants is thought to stretch from pre-history to the present; in more recent epochs such rituals have been shadowed by attempts at their suppression. This talk looks at the latest efforts to stamp out this praxis on these shores ... and what those of us committed to fighting for our cognitive liberty can do about it.
