Nick Herbert: Psychedelics and Consciousness
In this video, author and physicist, Nick Herbert discusses his own experiences with psychoactive substances such as: Cannabis, LSD, MDMA, Ayahausca and specifically, Morning Glory seeds. Nick explains his understanding of counsciousness and explains that, "you learn a lot about possibilities in taking these drugs," however, "psychedelics are scary, they are not for recreation. They teach you more about yourself than you might want to know and more about the options you have. There is this everyday world but, you can be in a place where there is no you and still perceive the world." Nick briefly mentions his knowledge of ethnobotany and in a concluding statement, he expresses that, "you really can't explain it to somebody, it has to be experienced."
