Michael Pollan on Psychedelic Drugs and How to Change Your Mind

Michael Pollan talks with host Russ Roberts about his book, How to Change Your Mind. He chronicles the history of psychedelic drug use, particularly LSD and psilocybin, to treat addiction, depression, and anxiety. He discusses his own experiences with the drugs as well. Much of the conversation focuses on what we might learn from psychedelic drugs about their apparent spiritual dimension, the nature of consciousness, and the nature of the mind.
