Michaela and Zach Cotogni, who live in the Wellington region, are well-known in the magic mushroom community, and are the minds behind the book Blue Honey, which documents the experience of Kiwis using mushrooms containing psilocybin. On this Deep Dive episode the pair discuss how their lives have been changed by the substance, why they decided to speak about their magic mushroom use and what their hopes are for the law in New Zealand.
This episode was recorded earlier this year and is being rereleased over summer.
Just a warning, we do discuss mental health issues, suicidal ideation and drug use in this episode. People currently using prescription medication for a mental illness should seek medical advice if they're planning to make any changes to their prescription.
