Powerful mind altering drugs have been used by humans for thousands of years for sacred rituals as well as recreation. Only in recent generations has this use become problematic and only in the past few decades have we waged an all out war on them.

Join IPS Drug Policy Project Director Sanho Tree for a radical reflection on drugs, humanity, and modernity as he synthesizes more than two decades of research on the subject.

“Covid, Modernity, Lifeways, and Drug Use ” is part of the IPS webinar series, Progressive Politics and the Time of Pandemic.
