45:57Now PlayingHuman Beings have been intoxicating themselves in an endless variety of creative ways for as far back as we look. Long before the written language was established we find evidence of early humans not only using drugs but also cultivating and breeding plants like the Poppy. Even other species of animals purposefully intoxicate themselves on a regular basis!
We talk about a handful of today's most popular drugs which have histories that stretch back tens of thousands of years. Cannabis, Opiates, Cocaine and Psychedelics all have rich stories that are well worth becoming more familiar with. We discuss some of the striking statistics surrounding the long-failed and fraudulent War on Drugs as well as key political decisions that got us here in the first place.
