24kGoldn Learns About Psychedelics

On today's episode, rapper 24kGoldn joins host Mathias Rosenzweig to learn about the ins and outs of psychedelics. Why do psychedelics even exist in nature? Why did the US government slip LSD to unsuspecting American citizens during the Cold War? And what was it like for 24kGoldn to do shrooms with his mom?  We asked a smart person: Dr. Albert Garcia-Romeu, a member of the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences faculty at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a Guest Researcher at the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Intramural Neuroimaging Research Branch.
