Para las concepciones de vida de los pueblos Arhuaco, Barasano y Wiwa el primer factor a tener en cuenta en una reflexión sobre el “vivir bien” es el de la permanencia de una comunicación espiritual con los denominados padres y madres (o “dueños espirituales”) de los distintos elementos que conforman el planeta como el agua, la tierra, el viento, el trueno, los árboles, los animales y las estrellas. Estos seres “espirituales” o invisibles surgieron en los orígenes del mundo y son la base principal que garantiza la existencia, el conocimiento, el orden y la vida de la gente en el planeta.

From Gabon to all corners of the globe, practices with iboga and ibogaine are rapidly expanding. With this expansion, several important considerations arise, particularly around what happens when two seemingly disparate worlds collide: the world of traditional healing systems and the Western world that is hopeful for solutions to the problems of addiction and social and spiritual dislocation. Like all liminal spaces, this encounter is not always comfortable. ICEERS (the International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service) has been working within this space for over a decade and we propose that it is full of opportunity—the opportunity to move beyond seeing traditional psychoactive plant medicines as molecules commodities and towards a sophisticated engagement with bio-cultural knowledge systems in service to a true revolution in mental health care.

A principios de mayo oí hablar de que se estaban celebrando las primeras ceremonias virtuales de ayahuasca, enésima consecuencia de la “nueva normalidad”. Por entonces, cumplíamos mes y medio de confinamiento, y el Zoom se había convertido en un canal habitual para tener reuniones de trabajo, hablar con la familia o dar clases de yoga. ¿Pero ayahuasca? Eso había que probarlo.

Katherine Eban’s disquieting, often unnerving, and at times infuriating new book Bottle of Lies ranges across the pharmaceutical industry in several countries, but its chief concern is the generic drug industry in India and the inconsistent vetting by the FDA of the industry’s products for the American market. The FDA’s lack of rigorous, uniform scrutiny of imported pharmaceuticals has put the prescription drug supply in the United States at risk from contaminated, ineffective, and even fraudulent medications—products that not only might fail to control disease but might themselves be life-threatening.

Plus Three is joined by author and host of the Team Human podcast, Douglas Rushkoff, to discuss some of the parallel trajectories between psychedelic and digital mainstreaming. Will COVID-19 be to psychedelics as 9/11 was to surveillance capitalism? September 11th became the excuse to implement a surveillance state and surrender digital technologies to corporations. Will we see psychedelic medicines become the go-to recovery option for COVID-related mental health fallout? We also explore what a true psychedelic renaissance might look like.
