Michael Pollan Speaks About Coffee And Tea
0:04
coffee in TR also plant drugs and we
don't think I've them that way we tend
0:09
not to use the word drug when its normal
0:11
calm but alcohol coffee and tea are drug
0:14
om and arm coffee in TV
0:18
we we've been using them for very long
time
0:21
they've been acceptable for a very long
time but not always
0:25
arm and they were I
0:28
coffee we believe was discovered with
the help of goats
0:33
on Abbas in Ian herders goat herders
notice that their goats go through the
0:39
great experimenters in nature they want
is nibble a little bit of everything to
0:42
see what happens
0:43
hom they would notice the particularly
like the berries have a particular bush
0:47
and that led the herders supposedly
0:51
Tom to experiment and discover that in
those berries with the seat and then a
0:56
few
0:57
consume that seed specially after
roasting you would
1:01
feel really good very alert
1:04
I would sharpen your senses but you
would feel different differently than
1:09
you did before
1:10
om t very similarly the changes your
mood
1:14
I am and why is this well and case
1:17
coffee and tea we think it's caffeine a
compound that they both
1:22
contain although the experience coffee
and he is very different and can't
1:25
simply be explained by
1:27
by levels of caffeine like most to the
substance is too many drugs involved and
1:31
we tend to focus on that one
1:33
active ingredient per to maybe a great
many compounds that are affecting the
1:36
experience
1:37
so there's an example have two drugs
that are
1:40
culture celebrates and some people would
argue that
1:45
the drugs that our culture chooses to
celebrate are the ones that kind of
1:49
hopes it function most smoothly
1:53
so for example I coffee and tea became
acceptable during the Industrial
1:59
Revolution
2:00
these were good drugs to take if you had
to
2:04
work a really long day in here in a
factory needed to stay alert
2:08
they did not impede the wheels of
capitalism
2:12
you now in fact they be lubricated that
we also capitalism
2:16
cigarettes 22 I tobacco another
2:19
another plan to a I am in yet there are
other drugs that get in the way
2:25
save the smooth workings have capitalist
economy
2:30
and marijuana would be one people don't
really see the need to work
2:34
it diminishes the the
2:38
ambition drive and makes people content
with what the hack harm
2:43
so that maybe one other reasons that in
our very fast
2:47
achievement oriented society
2:51
marijuana has been demonized
