THINGS HIDDEN 43: Forbidden Medicines with Leonardo Mercado

In this special THINGS HIDDEN conversation, David Gornoski sits down with Leonardo Mercado and the two explore the connection between sacrificial religion, anthropology, and medicine; and how this connection still remains in our modern-day societies. Mercado also talks about the state’s reaction towards cannabis users; COVID treatment with generic medicine; the medicinal benefits of plants like the Peyote cactus, the milk thistle, and natural tobacco; and more.
