The History of Psychedelics
from The World According to Jen & Carolyn · host Jennifer Patricia and Carolyn Jay
Send us Fan MailWhat comes to mind when you think of psychedelics? Hippies spinning around in a park circa 1968? Maybe you’ve heard of Timothy Leary and the Merry Pranksters or, like Jen, spent much of your freshman year of high school tripping on acid whilst listening to the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album. But, did you know that research suggests prehistoric people may have deliberately consumed plants with psychedelic properties as far back as 10,000 BCE? There’s a lot to “unpack” here as we used to say in grad school including the increasingly accepted belief by many doctors and scientists that psychedelics can be used in healthcare. Tune in as Jen and Carolyn take you on a magical mystery tour of their own.
