Michael Pollan: Magic mushrooms and LSD could help solve mental health crisis

Could psychedelics cure an anxious mind? Author and journalist Michael Pollan thinks so. He spoke to ITV News Science Editor Tom Clarke about his bestseller ‘How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics’. For his research Pollan, 63, who recently appeared in Netflix series Cooked, personally took psychedelic drugs such as LSD and even the smoked venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad which is hallucinogenic.
