The use of mind-altering substances is nothing new, but it was in the 20th century that it came briefly into the mainstream, the term psychedelics was coined, and it became demonized, all in a brief span of time. Now, in the early 21st century, psychedelic substances and their beneficial uses are being rediscovered.
Michael Pollan, an activist and author, in his book How to Change Your Mind, explores the history of psychedelic drugs, their uses and misuses, and his own experiences with the drugs.
