Altered States: A Brief History of Psychedelics

Join Shane and Duncan for a journey through the kaleidoscopic world of psychedelics...

In this irreverent host-swap episode, delve with Duncan into the science, the scandals, and the stories that make these substances both fascinating and formidable. ~ Become an Insomniac!
