Was the classical world bound together by a potent hallucinogen? Chris and Dane discuss Brian C. Muraresku's New York Times best-selling book, "The Immortality Key: The Secret History of The Religion With No Name." Muraresku argues that the Hellenistic world orbited around a mystery cult whose central ritual involved hallucinogenic beer. After assessing the evidence for ritualistic narcotic usage by the ancient Greeks, Chris and Dane shift the conversation to the nature of psychoactive spirituality and the possibility that America's increasingly permissive attitude towards psychedelics could herald an imminent spiritual revival.
