And they were people that understood women's health and the use of plants for women's health, for inducing labor, for inducing abortion, which was a big one, for, you know, inducing lactation, for doing all the things that, you know, are peculiar to women's physiology. That body of knowledge was the, you know, was the province of the women. The women have this wisdom. It was women's wisdom.

And so medicine got away from spirit. Medicine exorcised spirit. You know, and said it's all just mechanical. And then so that went on and went on from the 19th century until the 20th century. Yeah. And then along came psychedelics. And, I mean, they've always been there. They've always been used.

But along came psychedelics as potential medicines and this sort of psychedelic renaissance and the reintroduction of psychedelics into medicine, into medical therapies – The reason medicine is so uncomfortable with psychedelics is that they are medicines for the spirit, effectively. They have to admit that a spirit exists if they're going to use psychedelics.

And this is why, you know, I mean, they're grudgingly beginning to use psychedelics in medicine. But a lot of people are uncomfortable with this for this very reason. In fact, there's a whole group of medicinal chemists and drug developers who are trying to take psychedelic molecules and engineer the trip out of the molecule, right?

So they're trying to create non-psychedelic psychedelics, which by definition they can't be because psychedelic means… mind manifesting, right? You have to admit that the mind exists. The mind and the spirit may be the same thing.

So these non-psychedelic psychedelics, the thinking is, well, if you just tweak these receptors and you tweak these changes that the psychedelic produces without ever having
