Hello, this is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor, writer, director, and swimmer and I love films. Come join me on my podcast, Films To Be Bared With, where I invite a special guest over, I tell them they died, then I get them to discuss their life through the films that meant the most to them.

I always get them the most, what made them cry the most, etc. At the end, they pick a film to go and neck off in and take to heaven, life, death, and movies.

Listen to Films To Be Bared With with Brett Goldstein on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Stuff To Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeart Radio's Has Stuff Works.

Hey, welcome to Stuff To Blow Your Mind, my name is Robert Lam.

seeming like it isn't just an experience, but that it somehow imparts true information to you.

Right. And then we also just talked about in general terms, like what is a drug?

What does this term drug mean? And why do we apply it to some substances that have a physiological effect on us and not to others?

Right. And then what, indeed, is a psychedelic and again, all those properties that we typically associate with the psychedelic experience.

Right. And one of the funny things is when I was growing up, I thought of drugs as one class of things that are all equally bad and all equally scary.

And of course, this was United States drug policy conditioning as it filtered through into the education system.

In a way, you can kind of understand, like, you know, you want kids to be aware of the dangers of messing with addictive substances.
