Back in the early 1990s, when I was doing fieldwork for a book that eventually became The Channeling Zone, I was invited to an ayahuasca healing session in Santa Fe. I had seen enough ayahuasca consumed in northeastern Peru to think that the prospect of full-on emesis and purgation in the house of some stranger…

Make no mistake, every elected Liberal member of Parliament, including cabinet ministers, is on record supporting legalization. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau directed his Minister of Justice in a public mandate to implement this goal by the end of his first term. “Legalization” is going happen, and Canada appears to be the first democracy in the world where a government was elected campaigning on a promise to legalize marijuana and is going to follow through.
But if legalization is the inevitable and unanimous policy of the governing body, why is it illegal now?
Desde hace unos años, la ONG Warmayllu a través del Laboratorio del Buen Vivir viene buscando reducir la violencia de género en nuestras comunidades de la Amazonía.
O desconhecimento a respeito da origem e da divisão dos seguidores do Santo Daime contribui para o consumo crescente da bebida, dentro e fora do Brasil. Usando o mesmo nome, vários grupos são percebidos equivocadamente por pesquisadores e pela opinião pública como parte de uma mesma tradição religiosa. As diferenças existem, são significativas e dividem os adeptos em duas tradições bem distintas, de acordo com o pesquisador israelense Tom Orgad, 31, da Universidade de Tel-Aviv, autor de uma tese de doutorado, escrita em hebraico, intitulada “O Daime: de um ritual comunitário local a uma religião messiânica expansiva”, que lança luz no ambiente em que se desenrola a diferença entre as duas principais versões do Santo Daime.

Yage tourism in South America has become popular among backpackers from all around the world. The sacred plant has become a major draw for spiritual seekers in the U.S. and Europe.

Siguiendo los lineamientos de una política prohibicionista impuesta por los Estados Unidos, el Estado mexicano ha desatado en nuestro país una violencia nunca antes vista al haber iniciado un combate policiaco-militar contra la producción, distribución y consumo de drogas consideradas ilegales. Simultáneamente, en numerosas comunidades indígenas y campesinas de México
Ayahuasca IS illegal in the United States; it is covered by the scheduling of DMT. The US Supreme Court, in the UDV decision, clarified that, in the US, ayahuasca (if it contains DMT) is included in the laws prohibiting DMT:
El Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo (Mincetur) y las autoridades de la región Loreto acordaron hoy incrementar las acciones de fiscalización a los establecimientos que brindan sesiones de ayahuasca, para evitar nuevos casos de fallecimiento de turistas extranjeros en dicha zona.

As my most visited post is 'Seven Good Reasons to drink Ayahuasca', I thought I should complement it with this new post 'Seven Good Reasons NOT to drink Ayahuasca'. 1. Because you don't know the shaman/curandero/maestro/facilitator leading the ceremony. This cannot be emphasized strongly enough. Drinking ayahausca with someone you don't know is like playing…
Spanning a 1.3 million hectare territory – a region the size of the State of Connecticut - the newly elected government brings together 100 Wampis communities representing some 10,613 people who continue to live a traditional subsistence way of life through hunting, fishing and small scale agriculture.
While the newly-formed government does not seek independence from Peru, its main role is to protect Wampis ancestral territory and promote a sustainable way of life that prioritizes well-being, food security and a healthy harmonious existence with the natural world.

Transgression was the essence of the twentieth century avant-garde and the royal road to insight, self-transformation and special knowledge from Baudelaire to William Burroughs and beyond. In the 1960s psychedelic drugs became a touchstone of
YOSHTOYOSHTO: PETER METTLER - FRANZ TREICHLER - JEREMY NARBY A live divination with Moving Image, Music and Story.
A filmmaker, a musician and an anthropologist fuse their arts in a live alchemical improvisation, feeding off one another in real time, drawing from our shared human existence, saturated with knowledge, sound and image.
This 3-way fusion mixes hypnotic technologies with oral tradition. It transforms and re-contextualizes self-made and collected materials. In so doing, it engages in a kind of divination of the mediated world’s ‘unconscious’.

From a representative sample of a suitably psychedelic crowd, you’d be hard pressed to find someone who couldn’t tell you all about Albert Hofmann’s enchanted bicycle ride after swallowing what turned out to be a massive dose of LSD – the world’s first acid trip (Hofmann, 1980) has since become a cherished piece of psychedelic folklore. Far fewer, however, could tell you much about the world’s first DMT (N,N- dimethyltryptamine) trip.
Hace unas semanas compartimos una regresión donde pudimos observar qué ocurrió a una persona después de una toma de ayahuasca, a quien "seres de luz" le entregaron unos "regalitos" después de haberse involucrado en una toma de ayahuasca.
Para los indios mesoamericanos la planta psicoactiva que se utiliza en rituales de adivinación es parte de una divinidad. Tras ingerirla litúrgicamente, y convertido en un vehículo del mundo sobrenatural, el chamán percibe y expresa la voz trascendente. De esa creencia surgen la recolección ritual y el canto adivinatorio, el largo entrenamiento y el dominio del éxtasis, el diagnóstico y la cura.
