  Said during "Brian Muraresku: The Secret History of Psychedelics | Lex Fridman Podcast #211". The episode features Brian Muraresku: Lawyer-turned-scholar and author of the bestseller 'The Immortality Key,' which spent 12 years hunting for hard scientific evidence that psychedelics were used in ancient Greek, Roman, and early Christian religion. Author Brian Muraresku argues psychedelic-spiked wine and ancient mystery rites secretly shaped Western religion and the birth of Christianity.
