History Channel Documentary of Richard Evans Schultes - the explorer, ethnobotanist, pioneer of psychopharmacology and the man who brought magic mushrooms, peyote and several other psychoactive plants to the attention of the western world. Before Schultes went to South America to obtain magic mushrooms, they were considered by most everyone in the academic community as stuff of folklore and legend. Makes you rethink our views on mythological and folkloric belief, don't it?
