Manage episode 418660152 series 2518965

Johns Hopkins researcher Albert Garcia-Romeu, Ph.D. knows just how magical it is. He's conducting research on psilocybin's therapeutic value for everything from persistent Lyme disease to a range of mental health conditions. Find out what this psychedelic drug can do, and why it got such a bad reputation.
Plus... revisiting Timothy Leary's rise and fall as he turned on, tuned out, and dropped out.
