We get into the research on psilocybin mushrooms, and share our personal journey’s — diving deep into the weird and beautiful blend of biological and spiritual facets.

0:11.7	You know, recently, especially, but also not so recently, there's been a lot of interest
0:17.6	and research in the area of psychedelics and maps MAPS, which is the multidisciplinary
