b'Michael Pollan has done more than perhaps anybody else in recent history to change the conversation on the use of psychedelic drugs, or plant medicine. He is author of the best selling book called How to Change Your Mind and he recently followed up with another book called This is Your Mind on Plants. Pollan is also the co-founder of the University of California Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics, along with another recent podcast guest, Dacher Keltner.\\xa0\\nIn this conversation we talk about whether psychedelics and meditation can mix and the links between psychedelics, meditation and Buddhism; the universal human drive to change consciousness; and his experiences with the three plants that he focuses on in his new book: opium, caffeine, and mescaline.\\nPlease note: this episode contains conversations about depression, suicide, and substance use.\\xa0\\nHere are the steps for sending us a question for our upcoming Work Life Series:\\n1.\\tGo to a quiet place and open the default voice memo recording app on your phone.\\n2.\\tHold the phone about 8-10 inches from your face, then tap \\u201crecord.\\u201d\\n3.\\tTell us your name, where you\\u2019re from, and what your question is.
