Reason.tv: Judge Jim Gray on The Six Groups That Benefit From Drug Prohibition - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine

Reason.tv: Judge Jim Gray on The Six Groups That Benefit From Drug Prohibition - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
In 1992, Jim Gray, a conservative judge in conservative Orange County, California, held a press conference during which he recommended that we rethink our drug laws.. Back then, it took a great deal of courage to suggest that the war on drugs was a failed policy.

Today, more and more Americans are coming to the realization that prohibition's costs—whether measured in lives and liberties lost or dollars wasted—far exceed any possible or claimed benefits.

Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of Dr. Francoise Barbira Freedman´s work

 

"Cambridge University anthropologist Dr Francoise Barbira Freedman came across the budded plant more than 30 years ago when living with a secretive Peruvian tribe known for practising shamanism.
During her trip she suffered severe pain in her wisdom teeth. She was given the remedy by the tribe’s medicine men and the discomfort ‘went away immediately’."

Celebrity Ayahuasca and Iboga Project | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

This looks like a pretty poor idea.  I wonder who is behind this Avatar Healing Company?

In the 60s The Beatles -arguably the most fmaous people in the world at the time- took LSD and talked about it publicly.  Did that advance its cause?  Not sure.

"Who is a professional? .... A water diviner is a professional. A traditional midwife is a professional. A traditional bone setter is a professional. These are professionals all over the world. You find them in any inaccessible village around the world. And we thought that these people should come into the mainstream and show that the knowledge and skills that they have is universal. It needs to be used, needs to be applied, needs to be shown to the world outside -- that these knowledge and skills are relevant even today."
