One day around 850 CE, a goatherd observed that his goats started acting abnormally after nibbling on some berries. The herder tried them himself, and soon enough, he was just as hyper.

Jonathan Morris traces the history of this energizing elixir. Lesson by Jonathan Morris, directed by Harry Tennant.
