Although abolished in 1958 by Queen Elizabeth II, the debutante balls had already infiltrated American society.

I began working on my new book, Bamboozled, in 2017. It had been two years since I had embarked on my first guided journey with psilocybin aka magic mushrooms.

Persistently failing to come close to this goal, the government now hopes to reach it by 2030.Agriculture continues to be dominated by large-scale agri-business, and small farmers frequently lack the support…
