Your shit is so high quality I genuinely hope you get your own show one day

Fun fact: in Rajasthan, where opium is grown, families will consume opium when they are mourning .

Top YouTuber on the platform at the moment.

You should really push this channel more. I had no idea it existed until it showed up on my feed. This is the same brand of content we follow your main for.

The issue with ergot, if I'm remembering, is that in order to take enough to hallucinate, you would basically have to get yourself sick enough with ergotism to die anyway.

i was today years old when i learned that shrews have their own natural little toilets that like, grow in the ground, and i appreciate this knowledge very much, thank you

9:21 omg you two are identical

Also, "narcotics" is such an interesting choice by Emily Wilson. The Greek original only has "drugs" which for the Greeks could have meant either medicine or poison. No wonder because by the time Hippocrates and his followers started to practice medicine in Greek, Egyptian medicine had existed for thousands of years.

The fact that this was my very first thought when I saw the movie opening day remembering that actual blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) was probably a lot more common then today. Not to mention they had natural birth control (silphium)

It always interesting to know how drugs were used and perceived centuries ago, it feels like a new thing and I forget how long many things have been around and used

MISSED YOU!! i found your channel from your most recent video and have watched every video of yours since seeing that one! so happy to see you back

No fr it's awful, I went into delerium after overdosing on Benadryl and I only remember what I was told by my parents, everything 5 minutes or so I'd completely reset and id forget that I'm in the hospital or what I took in the first place, it took 36 hours for me to come to properly and tell my dad what I took, I confused my parents for my old principal and ended up punching them, I started oinking at security guards thinking they were cops - I'm so glad I don't have many memories from it though, a lot of people developed some form of PTSD after experiences like that, it has caused permanent memory problems but theres not much I can do about that- moral of the story don't abuse Benadryl pls- 16:50

Yo Meta, you absolutely need to read “The Road to Eleusis” by Gordon Wasson. Goes into depth about the rites and Kykeon itself… absolutely wild how it’s been able to be pieced back together.
I work in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, and this book is like mandatory reading for anyone in the field or related fields

Also, O Brother, Where Art Thou will always be my favorite The Odyssey

I really appreciate the amount of tangents you go on,  they’re like fun facts.

This 23 minute video was uploaded 1 minute ago and I already consider it absolute cinema 🚬

Metta, I could hear you talk, talk and talk about these topics all damn night!  Even though I am signing up to spoil this movie before I have even gotten the chance to see it, I don't care you just make this shit so interesting!  Been following your other channel and just discovered this channel.  Keep it going dude, you're so knowledgeable and so quirky it's so enjoyable!

I’m actually afraid of how well I’ll do on that drug trivia game. 😅

5:12 earned u a sub. I’m CRYING 😂😂😂😂 “ I’m ODYSSEUS BITCH 🗣️🗣️”😭😭😭😭

was thinking about this a bit ago. super cool to see a metta video on it
