Psychedelica: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

For centuries and across cultures, sacred ceremonies using ayahuasca, peyote, mushrooms, and cannabis were integral to collective well-being. These long-revered healing instruments that nourished individuals and united ancient communities have been largely forgotten by today's society. Why? What might we be missing?

Psychedelica takes a holistic look at the emerging science, long-standing beliefs, and psychological healing potential of these plants to ask, "Who holds the keys to consciousness?"
