DMT v Ayahuasca
DMT v Ayahuasca
BY TYSON BAKER, COLIN CRANWELL, IRA MORNINGSTAR, & WILLIAM TURNER
In this episode, Tyson asks Colin about the history and differing effects of DMT and Ayahuasca. From the scientific insight of DMT, to the ever questioned legality of the drugs, this episode will leave you informed and questioning why we still keep Tyson on this show.
This episode was produced as part of a freshman seminar on Science Communication taught by Angel Kaur during Fall 2020 at UNC Asheville.
