This is the official page of author and cannabis historian Chris Bennett. I don't interact with MAGA, if that is you, don't follow me.
I’ve know the self described ‘Psychedelic Historian’ Tom Hatsis, a decade or more, and considering what a gender neutral flamboyant little man he is, he has to be one of the more ironic converts to MAGA that I have witnessed.

@jsweetli.bsky.social Applebaum has been weirdly writing about me, and I'm wondering about it. He has an article and a song about me! His article misrepresents my work, and I can answer any of his criticisms.
