Author and educator Michael Pollan delivers a commentary on our love-hate relationship with drugs in his latest book, This Is Your Mind on Plants, which debuted at number two on the New York Times' bestsellers list.
Although he was alarmed at the revelation, the discovery that he had already run afoul of federal drug statute eventually emboldened Pollan. When he first sowed the seeds in spring, Pollan was unsure just how far he would take his experiment. But when he learned he was already technically a drug offender, he decided to go ahead and make the tea had taught him could be easily prepared from the seed pods that followed the colorful flowers.
MacArthur, who saw Pollan’s article as work protected by the Constitution, was not satisfied with the legal opinion and sought another from a different lawyer, this time one specializing in the First Amendment. The attorney agreed with MacArthur, saying the article was protected commentary on the government that should be published.
If he were writing “Opium Made Easy” today, Pollan says he would probably publish the piece in its entirety, noting that the War on Drugs seems to be in retreat and “things have changed dramatically since then.” After the fear of reprisal subsided, it didn’t take long for Pollan to regret the self-censorship.
