This Is Your Mind on Plants By Michael Pollan
Feb 07, 2024 
This Is Your Mind on Plants by Michael Pollan is a captivating exploration of three plant drugs: opium, caffeine, and mescaline. In this unique blend of history, science, memoir, and participatory journalism, Pollan sheds light on the fundamental strangeness and arbitrariness of our thinking about these psychoactive substances.
He delves into the cultures that have grown around these drugs while consuming (or, in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them. Why do humans seek shifts in consciousness, and why do we simultaneously restrict that desire with laws and customs?
