Mormons and Drugs: The Podcast takes a broad spectrum analysis of the entirety of Mormon history, but through a unique multidisciplinary approach of magic, ethnobotany, and human pharmacology. Properly equipped with the appropriate esoteric toolkit, it then becomes blatantly apparent that Joseph Smith recognized and implemented psychedelic plants into his spiritual and magical practices.
Listeners will be introduced to the pertinent scientific research in regards to chemically induced mystical experiences and their plant-based catalysts. Cody will connect the psychedelic ceremonies of antiquity to the contemporary herbals and grimoires employed by Joseph Smith, which historians have already established influenced the birth of Mormonism. Combined with a score of first-hand accounts from credible church hierarchy, most notably from the Mormon founders themselves, Mormons and Drugs provides a nuanced, and often sardonic or demented, interpretation of Mormon history. Moth Doula on the other hand, will provide relatable circumstances most often drawn from Tolkien. Hope you like Lord of the Rings!

After fifteen episodes, we have finally reached the birth of the Mormon religion. After getting trolled pretty hard by some local New York activists, Joe the Prophet leads his congregation in their first psychedelic sacrament ceremonies. Rival prophets, devil stones, group hallucinations, and exorcisms immediately ensue.

Episode Art: Levitation, exorcism or just a “bad” trip. Call it what you may, Joseph Jr. can lead you through . . . possibly.
Now that the Book of Mormon is about to be printed in our narrative, we finally delve into the exact contents of Joe’s Gold Bible. Things immediately get weird. Wooden submarines filled with bees, Native American race wars, alien gods, and more.

For this week, Cody covers the printing process of the Book of Mormon and takes a closer look at some of the alleged ‘witness’ testimonies used to legitimize Joe’s new religion. Acting as a divinely ordained meat telephone, Joe delivers a number of revelations from god with his head in a hat in order to berate his financial backer Harris for complaining about the expensive costs of printing a new Gold Bible.
Episode Image: Visionary possibly produced from the datura plant, one of many in the sacramental wine allowing witnesses to see with their spiritual eyes upon the golden bibles blessings.
Within just days of retrieving the Gold Bible from treasure guardian turned angel, Jo orchestrates a meeting with local businessman Martin Harris. Equal parts wealthy with credulity, Harris proves to be outsmarted by just about everyone, possibly even himself.
Episode Image: Playful image created to represent the goggles that Joseph Smith Jr. claimed to have received from an angel, which was eventually taken from him by that very same angel as punishment.
