It’s titled, ‘Why I no longer use entheogens’, and while the numbers may not be as impressive as the Joe Rogan interview with Graham Hancock, the thousands of trip reports available on YouTube may be an even more significant statement about what’s going with entheogens in our culture. <br> But what does it all mean and what are we supposed to do? Graham?<br> [Graham Hancock] Can we use changes in consciousness to understand the majestic complexity of the universe in which we live?

Cody is the creator and co-host of the <a href="http://psillyrabbits.com/">Psilly Rabbits podcast</a>. Psilly Rabbits is kind of a play on the idea of psilocybin, which is one of the things that Cody is very interested in talking about and bringing to people on his very interesting and relatively new podcast.<br> <br> Alex Tsakiris: And you guys will have to just tell people, if they check out your podcast, it isn’t like your usual kind of psychonaut, trippy, “Hey man,” I mean it’s like really intellectual and academic and you get all of these really smart people on there and there’s a lot of references to academic papers and research. So, that’s part of the angle that you bring to it, right Cody?<br> Cody Noconi: Yeah,
