This Is Your Mind on Plants by Michael Pollan

Wishing for the confidence of this author! 😅
I took unnecessary exception to the author's claim of giving up caffeine cold-turkey, while apparently drinking decaf. 🥴
I just think there must better content out there than these three self- case studies? However, not so terrible that I didn't finish it, despite that the final chapter didn't sit well with me; in one breath the author talked about the sensitivity of writing about Indigenous medicine and in the next seemingly ignored caution.
