San Pedro and Sobriety: David Boyle's Hallucinogenic Adventure

I fully felt that as well. And now I'm giving back to nature like the great circle of life.
Ever wondered how a hallucinogenic cactus could impact someone's sobriety journey? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes listeners on a wild ride through his experiences with the San Pedro cactus. Known for its potent hallucinogenic properties, San Pedro played a surprising role in Boyle's path to sobriety. He recounts missing podcast recordings due to depression treatment but finding time to dive deep into the history and effects of this unique plant.
Boyle shares an amusing yet thought-provoking story about his first encounter with San Pedro, which included a vivid vision of throwing a dart through a hummingbird's eye and an impromptu cooking session with the cactus in his minestrone pot. Despite the chaos, he reflects on how this experience helped him reconnect with nature and shift his perspective on life. If you're curious about unconventional paths to sobriety and enjoy a good laugh, this episode is a must-listen.
