Darren Springer (Aka Darren Le Baron) joins us to discuss some of the groundbreaking research featured in his webinar series, Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story. This series takes a closer look at the ancient history, mythology and scientific studies surrounding the use of psychoactive plants and fungi.
