"In the study of indigenous religions, one of the issues a scholar faces is the gap between self-representation and scholarly classification, particularly with regard to the concept of ‘religion’. So how does the scholar of religion approach this issue? Shamanism is an interesting example, one which illustrates this problem, as this term was also coined by scholars, derived from one group in Siberia and applied cross-culturally to others, which then influenced diverse peoples to adopt the term when describing their traditions to outsiders, often in distinction to what is regarded as ‘religion’." by author Suzanne Owen

ALONG with lawyers, estate agents and journalists, the pharmaceutical industry occupies an unenviable position near the bottom of the public’s affections. Ask people why, though, and they may find the reasons for their disdain hard to pin down.
Ben Goldacre, a British doctor and author, knows exactly what is wrong. “Medicine is broken,” he declares in his new book, “Bad Pharma”, before cataloguing the ways in which secrecy and laziness keep doctors ignorant about just what the drugs they prescribe are doing to their patients. Pharmaceutical firms routinely bury unflattering trial results and publish only the good ones. Those trials are run on unrepresentative patients, with dodgy statistical analysis, and then pushed on doctors with advertising budgets that are often bigger than those of the firms' research-and-development arms.

It’s a somewhat technical review, so you’ll probably need some basic familiarity with cell biology and/or brain science to comprehend most of the jargon. If you are interested in psychedelic neuroscience, then I do, very much, encourage you to read it, because it reviews major and important advancements in the field of neuroscience (functional selectivity, receptor dimerizations & neuroplastic processes), how psychedelics tie them all together and the role they played in their discovery and elucidation, and touches upon the many implications these new paradigms have for medical and brain science in general, and psychedelic science in particular.

In April, 2001, having hired a lawyer to represent us and done the necessary research for the application, we applied to Health Canada, the Office of Controlled Substances (OCS), for an exemption under section 56 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Acts, for the importation, transportation and administration of the sacrament. Five years of research and investigation followed, and in July, 2006 I was informed that the evaluation of our request had been concluded and that we were granted an exemption, in principle, pending Brazilian export permission.

A maior evidência da utilização da ayahuasca por etnias de língua quechua, é a origem quechua da palavra “ayhuasca”, traduzida diversamente por liana (cipó, corda) das almas (do homem morto) além de algumas outras palavras, inclusive “Chakruna” que não só representa uma palavra como também um modo específico de preparo da bebida ayahuasca, que é a decocção conjunta da Banisteriopsis caapi e Psychotria viridis (Highpine). Outra evidência são os grupos quechuas que ainda utilizam a ayahuasca entre os quais os Ingas (Ingano) - Vale Sibundoy /Colômbia; os Kofan (Cofan) do Rio Putumaio – San Miguel / Equador e os Callawaya - (Quíchua), da Bolívia – Peru ao que parece uma etnia com elevado número de raizeiros (xamãs – ervanários ou comerciantes de plantas medicinais) e funções específicas no Império Inca, além das dezenas de cholos ou mestiços que não mais integram uma etnia mas conhecem algo do quechua e são curandeiros que utilizam ayahuasca.
