SUMMARY:Evening Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book selection is: This is Your Mind on Plants by Michael Pollan.  In This Is Your Mind on Plants\, Michael Pollan dives deep into three plant drugs–opium\, caffeine\, and mescaline–and throws the fundamental strangeness\, and arbitrariness\, of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs while consuming (or\, in the case of caffeine\, trying not to consume) them\, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants. Why do we go to such great lengths to seek these shifts in consciousness\, and then why do we fence that universal desire with laws and customs and fraught feelings? \nIn this unique blend of history\, science\, and memoir\, as well as participatory journalism\, Pollan examines and experiences these plants from several very different angles and contexts\, and shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively–as a drug\, whether licit or illicit. But that is one of the least interesting things you can say about these plants\, Pollan shows\, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds\, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. Based in part on an essay published almost twenty-five years ago\, this groundbreaking and singular consideration of psychoactive plants\, and our attraction to them through time\, holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations\, the operations of our minds\, and our entanglement with the natural world.
