“What was Soma? Part 1 with Chris Bennett” Episode 187
We sat down with Chris Bennett for part 1 of our series “what was Soma?”. Chris Bennett has been researching the historical role of cannabis in the spiritual life of humanity for more than a quarter of a century. He is co-author of Green Gold the Tree of Life: Marijuana in Magic and Religion (1995); Sex, Drugs, Violence and the Bible (2001); and author of Cannabis and the Soma Solution (2010); and Liber 420: Cannabis, Magickal herbs and the Occult (2018). He has also contributed chapters on the the historical role of cannabis in spiritual practices in books such as The Pot Book (2010), Entheogens and the Development of Culture (2013), Seeking the Sacred with Psychoactive Substances (2014), One Toke Closer to God (2017), Cannabis and Spirituality (2016) and Psychedelics Reimagined (1999). Bennett’s research has received international attention from the BBC , Guardian, Sunday Times, Washington Post, Vice and other media sources. He currently resides in Princeton, British Columbia, Canada. Part 1 will be focused on why Cannabis was Soma and we thought Chris was the perfect guest for that. The goal of this series is to put out all credible data, texts, translations, and research so you the viewers and listeners can decide what you think Soma was.
