I also found it to be very interesting, I specially noticed that he mentioned the relation with Cannabis and religion during the ages and amongst many different cultures.

I liked how he talked about how forgetting actually is useful. I also liked when he talked about Frederich Nietzsche, because I remember the cattle quote from the book I read  He really did challenge quite a few things there, im glad I watched it, very good. Thanks for the share
