Ayahuasca News

I'm an addict. I collect scientific papers and research articles. There's not enough time to read them all, but I save them anyways, thinking I'll get to them on a rainy day. The problems is, it do...

On a hot evening in June, in a crowded room above a London pub, Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, a research associate in the Centre for Neuropsychopharma-cology at Imperial College, is giving a public talk about his work. He is having to make himself heard over the boozy commotion downstairs, where people are watching Chile put Spain out of the World Cup. But there is a slightly giddy atmosphere in the function room, too, because the doctor's area of research is as exciting as it is taboo: he is investigating the brain effects and potential therapeutic uses of psychedelic drugs.

"Kyle Kingsbury says the psychedelic drug ayahuasca helped him become a happier person, content with his life and place in the world. But did that come at the cost of his pro fighting career?"

"When it comes to psychedelics, an under-the-radar nonprofit research group is opening people's minds. The Santa-Cruz-based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies is making serious headway toward bending the boundaries of modern medicine. In several federally-approved clinical trials, the group is effectively treating psychiatric disorders - notably post-traumatic stress disorder - with MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy."

"The desire to incorporate ancient healing practices with sacred plants into modern medicine has been a central passion of my career as a clinician and psychedelic researcher for over forty years. During that time Mexico has offered me friendship, collegiality,adventure and wonder. At times I have felt when visiting first Nations in Mexico like I was stepping back into ancient times. The wonder and honor of knowing Maria Sabina, Don Ricardo, Niuweme and other healers and shamans has transformed my outlook on the practice of psychedelic medicine."

Los curacas se convirtieron en los designados intermediarios entre los mundos de la casta conquistada y el de sus amos; A ellos, en igual forma que a la élite incaica, se les otorgó un status social colonial equivalente al de la nobleza europea. Enconsecuencia, estaban exentos de obligaciones tributarias y tenían el privilegio detener bienes privados. Sin embargo, estos privilegios fueron concedidos conobligaciones adjuntas. A cambio de los beneficios de la posición nobiliaria, seesperaba que ellos aseguraran el cumplimiento de las exigencias coloniales hechas alcampesinado. El curaca era responsable del cobro' del tributo y los impuestos, de la organización y la selección de trabajadores para las mitas coloniales, del cobro de los bienes y del salario debido al cura doctrinero, de los diezmos adeudados a la 'Iglesia Católica y de la construcción y mantenimiento de la iglesia del pueblo

"La guerra contra las drogas se terminó hace unos quince años. Eso se nota en la reducción del presupuesto de las diversas brigadas de estupefacientes de diferentes países. Se ha impuesto de forma más o menos explícita la política de reducción de daños en materia de drogas. La cruzada contra las brujas no se acabó con un decreto diciendo “nos hemos equivocado”, se acabó entre susurros. Y así es como se acabará la cruzada contra las drogas, entre susurros. Nunca se ha conseguido que una cruzada del tipo que fuere contra el librepensamiento, la homosexualidad, la brujería o las drogas terminase explícitamente."

"This essay, which is the fifth in the series “Recollections, Reflections, and Revelations: Personal Experiences in Ethnobiology”, is a personal reminiscence by the researcher on his first field experience in Turkey in the late 1970s, which was a failure from an ethnobiological point of view but a success for a social scientist pursuing Turkic studies."
