Uses (And Abuses) Of Psychedelic Drugs

The "Psychedelic 60s" are way behind us, and Timothy Leary died a generation ago. 

But the class of drugs that fascinated Leary--psychedelics like LSD--still fascinate some people today. 

Research and reporting on psychedelics is on an upswing, and an "Exploring Psychedelics in Culture, Religion, and Science"conference is planned for Friday at Southern Oregon University.  Conference organizers Matt Vogel and Martin Ball join us.
