Speaker/topic info: TeonanĂ¡cat| borealis: Psilocybin-containing "Magic Mushrooms" History and modern use in British Columbia A brief introduction to the Magic Mushrooms discusses their ancient use, rediscovery in Mexico in the mid-twentieth century, and their early discovery and role in BC's counter- culture and that legacy in the present day.
