When Plants Rewire Our Minds
Have you ever wondered why your morning coffee feels less like a choice and more like a necessity? Or why a plant that produces beautiful garden flowers could land you in federal prison? Our relationship with mind-altering plants is far stranger and more consequential than most of us realize. Three substances-opium, caffeine, and mescaline-have quietly shaped human civilization, altered our consciousness, and redefined what it means to be human. Yet we've categorized them arbitrarily: one powers our workdays, another fuels a devastating crisis, and the third remains sacred to some while forbidden to most. This isn't just about drugs. It's about an ancient partnership between humans and plants, where the question of who domesticated whom becomes genuinely unclear.
