  1. cool. obviously its on 420. someone tape it for those that dont have TV (i guess it will be on interweb eventually)...

    here is a blurb from a random blog:

    "Peyote to LSD: A Psychedelic Odyssey

    Premiere airing on The History Channel April 20, 2008

    Plant Explorer Richard Evans Schultes was a real life
    Indiana Jones whose
    discoveries of hallucinogenic plants laid the
    foundation for the psychedelic
    sixties.

    Now in this two hour History Channel TV Special, his
    former student Wade Davis,
    follows in his footsteps to experience the discoveries
    that Schultes brought to
    the western world.

    Shot around the planet, from Canada to the Amazon, we
    experience rarely seen
    native hallucinogenic ceremonies and find out the true
    events leading up to the
    Psychedelic Sixties.

    Featuring author/adventurer Wade Davis ("Serpent and
    the Rainbow"), Dr. Andrew
    Weil, the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and many others,
    this program tells the story
    of the discovery of pey ote, magic mushrooms and
    beyond: one man's little known
    quest to classify the Plants of the Gods.

    Richard Evans Schultes revolutionized science and
    spawned another revolution he never
    imagined.
