Check it out!

The Botany of Desire 2009

Featuring Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world -- seen from the plants' point of view. Narrated by Frances McDormand, the program shows how four familiar species -- the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato -- evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control.

Longer lecture about Cannabis only. Very enjoyable and educative so far.

Peace!

yes the name also reminded me of that cannabis lecture, wich idea of making mental space by forgetting for integrating/progressing new information, (if i remember well) is really interesting also!

Yes it was very mindblowing! So many things that they have apparently discovered thanks to Cannabinoids! Highly recommended!

The other video is interesting as well by the way!
