Psychedelic Dining Without the Psychedelics

This is… interesting. Sagrada, a new eight-course tasting menu in DC, recreates the journey of a psychedelic experience using food, ceremony, and storytelling—all without actual psilocybin. Dishes feature shiitake, huitlacoche, and lion’s mane, alongside rituals like sage smudging and a "heart opening ceremony." A portion of proceeds supports Johns Hopkins psychedelic research.
