Love pollan’s food and nature writings, but am really turned off by his psychedelic stuff. The mainstream/corporate/NYT embrace of psychedelics is irrationally annoying to me.
The counterculture knew their benefits for years, but an op-Ed in the NYT suddenly gives them legitimacy to the rest of the world? What’s next, house wives listening to Fugazi?
Again, I know it’s irrational, but i cringe every time I see Pollan writing about them.

Have not read his new stuff yet, but I do agree with your sentiment. When I've heard him on podcasts lately I'm always like "where's the old Pollan? Where's the food stuff?" We need it now more than ever.
I do want to read his book about caffeine though.
