This week on To the Best of Our Knowledge, back in the sixties, LSD was all the rage — not just in the counterculture but also in psychiatric clinics. Then psychedelics were outlawed and decades of research vanished. Now, psychedelic science is back — and the early results are extraordinary.

We’ll examine this revolution in medicine, and explore the connections between psychedelics and mystical experience.
