How did it feel taking hallucinogenic drugs live on TV?
'I didn't like the idea that the course leader seemed to differentiate between everyday street drugs and the herbal concoctions we took here. He seemed to think there was something more pure about his ones but they are not, they all come from similar sources. Taking the brews that they made felt like medicine for the soul.'

'At first, I was a bit pathetic about joining in but I spent the entire week thinking about my family and friends and realising how important they were.'
