Drugs in Nazi Germany, The CIA, and The Truth About Psychedelics
Very excited to have Norman Ohler on The Lonely Podcast.
Norman Ohler is a German Novelist, screenwriter, and a New York Times Bestselling author of the Book Blizted: Drugs in Nazi Germany. Norman had just released his brand new book Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age
In this conversation, we discuss how and why he started investigating the issue of drugs in the Third Reich. The prevalence of drugs in Germany during the war, the birth of LSD, how it was misused and experimented by the American CIA, the origins of The War on Drugs, what are the medicinal advantages of LSD and psilocybin, how micro-dosing of LSD helped Norman’s mother to treat her Alzheimer disease, the current state of research on psychedelics, and much more.
I really enjoyed speaking with Norman and believe that his books are a must-read. Personally, I can say that as someone who has avoided using any kind of drug throughout my life, I have become very curious to at least try micro-dosing after reading Tripped.
To support us please share this podcast with your friends and family to help spread the word.
