This Is Your Mind on Plants by Michael Pollan
4.0

It reads like a textbook mixed with a memoir– focusing on opium, caffeine, and mescaline. Most people are so reliant on different levels of mind-altering substances, the most common being a caffeine addiction, but what the really means for our existence, health, and culture are all explored on a respectful and scientific approach. It’s a brilliantly informative text.
