This Is Your Mind on Plants (2021) is a personal inquiry into three types of molecules and the extraordinary plants that produce them: the morphine in the opium poppy, the caffeine in coffee and tea, and the mescaline produced by the peyote and San Pedro cacti. American author Michael Pollan explains that we humans strive to vary, intensify, and sometimes transcend our ordinary consciousness. We have discovered a large array of molecules in nature that enable us to do so. These three plant drugs cover much of the spectrum of the human experience of psychoactive substances, from the everyday use of caffeine, to the ceremonial use of mescaline by Indigenous peoples, to the age-old use of opiates to relieve pain.
