Richard Saunder is an American living in Ecuador that has experienced the dark side of shamanism. He is currently in a legal battle to expose the shaman that almost killed him, and is asking for support from the shamanic community.

It's a foul-tasting, vomit-inducing concoction but it's got thousands queuing to try it. Ayahuasca is an hallucinogenic cocktail made from jungle vines and everyone is trekking deep into the Amazon to test its supposedly magic properties.

Tyrone Hayes, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, has devoted the past fifteen years to studying the herbicide atrazine, which is applied to more than half the corn in the country. During that time scientists around the world have expanded on his findings, suggesting that the herbicide is associated with birth defects in humans as well as in animals. Company documents show that while Hayes was studying atrazine, Syngenta, the agribusiness firm which had originally asked him to conduct experiments on the herbicide, was studying him, as he had suspected for years. Syngenta’s notes reveal that the company’s employees struggled for years to make sense of him.

On March 14, 2014, in an historic shift in federal policy, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services granted permission for MAPS to purchase research-grade marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) for our planned study of marijuana for symptoms of PTSD in U.S. veterans. MAPS has been working for over 22 years to start marijuana drug development research, and this is the first time we’ve been granted permission to purchase marijuana from NIDA, the sole provider of marijuana for federally regulated research in the United States. It took over four and a half months for reviewers at the Public Health Service (PHS) to respond to our October 24, 2013, protocol resubmission. The study still requires final approval from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and we are optimistic they will approve the study in a timely manner. The study will also require funding support. “When it comes to researching the medical potential of Schedule I drugs,” said MAPS Founder Rick Doblin,“Privately funded medical marijuana drug development research has been the last domino to fall.” The tide has turned for medical marijuana research, and we look forward to starting the study.

After watching an episode of the Joe Rogan experience she went to Peru to have her first Ayahuasca experience, despite her father trying to stop her at the airport.

Being illegal, an encounter with ayahuasca is out of reach for many people.

Hamilton Souther says he has a way around all that. The Bay Area native and veteran ayahuasca shaman, who spent 12 years in the jungle and has the bonafides from Peruvian masters to show for it, says he has discovered a path to a similar "authentic spiritual experience," with the same benefits and none of the risk.

Low, warm, voiceovers. The obviously forced inclusion of different ethnicities. Sped-up footage of people walking through cities. These are just some of the generic images and graphics that this hilarious video parodies with "This is a generic brand."
