This is your Mind on Plants
Michael Pollan
A Radical Challenge To How We Think About Drugs, And An Exploration Into The Powerful Human Attraction To Psychoactive PlantsāAnd The Equally Powerful Taboo
InĀ This Is Your Mind on Plants, Michael Pollan dives deep into three plant drugsāopium, caffeine, and mescalineāand throws the fundamental strangeness, and arbitrariness, of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs while consuming (or, in the case of caffeine, tryingĀ notĀ to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants. Why do we go to such great lengths to seek these shifts in consciousness, and then why do we fence that universal desire with laws and customs and fraught feelings? In this unique blend of history, science, and memoir, as well as participatory journalism, Pollan examines and experiences these plants from several very different angles and contexts, and shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductivelyāas a drug, whether licit or illicit.
