The much-heralded Psychedelic Renaissance
began in 1938 when Harvard graduate student Richard Schultes
traveled to southern Mexico to investigate reports that the Mazatec
peoples were ingesting mind-altering mushrooms for healing and
divinatory purposes. His findings led to further research in both
the field and the lab by folks like Gordon Wasson and Albert
Hofmann, and this in turn eventually brought the healing potential
of these and other mind-altering natural substances to the outside
world.
