Louie Schwartzberg explores the legalization and decriminalization of psilocybin. It is the launch of a real movement that has been driven by David Bronner of Dr Bronner's, and the architects of Oregon's Psilocybin Therapy legalization initiative, Tom & Sheri Eckert.

In 2017, Andrea Bird received her terminal diagnosis. In December of 2018, having no experience with it up to this point, she received underground psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to grapple with the challenge of dying. She is on the show for this episode to share her psilocybin story publicly for the first time.

(If you noticed this episode's mp3 dropped before the end, that was an issue on my end! The corrected file has been uploaded and should be available shortly.)
