Don Lattin - Telling Psychedelic Stories

Author/journalist Don Lattin has been telling psychedelic stories since 1977, when as a 23-year-old reporter he published a front-page story in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner, detailing the horrors of secret U.S. Army drug tests that employed LSD as a chemical weapon to psychologically torture and interrogate prisoners. Over the next forty years, Lattin wrote dozens of articles and four books that chronicled more socially and spiritually beneficial uses of psychedelic drugs and sacred plant medicines. His new book, Changing Our Minds, is an engaging, highly informative look at the prospects of using MDMA, psilocybin and ayahuasca to treat mood disorders and cultivate religious insight. Join Don in this conversation about his recent experiences as a psychedelic journalist and participant/observer in a dizzying array of therapeutic treatments and shamanic circles -- a journey that took him from a high-tech research lab in Switzerland to a mind-blowing encounter with the dried venom of a Sonoran desert toad.
