In this episode we examine the value of mind-altering substances. We begin in medias res with a spirited debate about whether indica and sativa still make sense as categories for cannabis, and then we lay out some questions: How do we appraise the insights we have while under the influence? How do we weight those experiences, and to what extent is it possible to carry them with us into our day-to-day lives? Is our beef really with our egos, or is it actually with, as Aaron calls it, "this capitalist hellscape"?
