Cultivo de coca y sus desafíos

Cultivo de coca y sus desafíos | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

En el articulo: ”Bolivia’s Smarter Approach to Controlling Coca Production” de Diego García-Davis para Open Society Foundations, se aborda el tema del control en el cultivo de coca y los modelos que se han implementado en países como Colombia y Bolivia, poniendo sobre la mesa lo que ya se ha hecho y vislumbrando nuevas formas para el futuro.

Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:

On May 14, 2015, the government of Colombia announced that it would stop using glyphosate in the aerial fumigation of coca crops. The herbicide was being used as part of a 20-year-old supply-reduction tactic backed technically and financially by the United States. Colombia’s decision followed on the heels of a report published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and issued by the World Health Organization that labeled glyphosate as a potential carcinogenic herbicide.

Hearing Voices in different cultures: a social kindling hypothesis

Hearing Voices in different cultures: a social kindling hypothesis | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

This study compares 20 subjects, in each of three different settings, with serious psychotic disorder (they meet inclusion criteria for schizophrenia) who hear voices, and compares their voice-hearing experience. We find that while there is much that is similar, there are notable differencesin the kinds of voices that people seem to experience. In a California sample, people were morelikely to describe their voices as intrusive unreal thoughts; in the South Indian sample, they weremore likely to describe them as providing useful guidance; and in our West African sample, theywere more likely to describe them as morally good and causally powerful.
