Drugs with Michael Pollan | A Drink with the Idler

On the publication of his latest book, 'This Is Your Mind on Plants', Michael Pollan chats to Idler magazine editor Tom Hodgkinson about psychedelic experiences, drugs in general and the new research in Michael's book. Michael Pollan is an award-winning author, activist and journalist. His international bestselling books about the way we live today – including 'How to Change Your Mind', 'In Defence of Food', and 'Food Rules' – combine meticulous reporting with anthropology, philosophy, culture, health and natural history. Time magazine has named him one of the hundred most influential people in the world. He lives in the Bay Area of California with his wife. His latest book 'This Is Your Mind on Plants' (Allen Lane, 8 July) is a riveting personal enquiry into three mind-changing molecules - morphine in the opium poppy, caffeine in coffee and tea, and mescaline produced by the peyote and San Pedro cactus: a sedative, a stimulant, and a hallucinogen that any of us might well be growing in our gardens or drinking right now. Pollan’s intention is to completely rethink our relationship with what we call ‘drugs'. This conversation was recorded as part of the Idler's series of weekly Zoom events, A Drink with the Idler, on Thursday 15 July.
