Today I have the pleasure of speaking with the 21st-century German philosopher, Dr. Sebastian Marincolo. Dr. Marincolo has published four books. He has a new book to be published soon titled, Elevated: Cannabis as a Tool for Mind Enhancement, and his most recent book, published in 2022 is titled, The Art of the High: Your Guide to Using Cannabis for an Outstanding Life.
As younger generations continue to determine public policy around the globe, we are now seeing the return of psychedelic and entheogenic substances into public and therapeutic spaces. In this podcast, Dr. Marincolo gives us a glimpse into his empirical and philosophical research of cannabis.
