The New Synthetics

The New Synthetics | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

Drugs that act as agonists at the serotonin 2A and 2C receptor subtypes are likely to be hallucinogenic; if those drugs have amine tails locked in a specific angle, they are likely to be even more potent; if they have any number of substitutions on their open carbon positions, they are likely to be more potent still because they take longer to metabolize; and if they have certain substitutions on their amine tail – specifically a 2-methoxybenzyl group – they become super-potent like LSD (i.e., active in the microgram range), and their hallucinogenic receptor affinity goes through the roof

Using Nichols’s discoveries, an amateur chemist can take any one of Shulgin’s hundreds of alphabet molecules like 2C-i, make a simple substitution to the amine tail, and turn it into 25I-NBOMe, a super- potent 5-HT2A agonist active at thousands of doses per gram. Now 25I-NBOMe is passed around on tabs and in droppers as 25-i, even though 25-i doesn’t necessarily imply the NBOMe variant – which can be confusing, but that’s the way drug shorthand naming often works.

Entheogenic Esotericism - Wouter J. Hanegraaf (2012) | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

Te title of this chapter was not chosen lightly. It brings two highly controver-sial terms together in a novel combination and, in so doing, attempts to callattention to a specifc phenomenon in contemporary religion, namely the reli-gious use of psychoactive substances as means of access to spiritual insightsabout the true nature of reality.

Ditsöwö Tsirík: The Way of the Seed

Ditsöwö Tsirík: The Way of the Seed | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

This is the journey of a people created as seed by Sibö (God) who resisted the Spanish conquest; their steps prove that their stories are not just myths, but a living history of struggle. This documentary invites you to get to know their word and their lives. Four Bribri-Cabecar sit down to talk about the resistance in Talamanca; the theft of their land, medicine, minerals and their balance, a way of life that is trying to be erased by a sick and devalued society. Hopefully they will be able to recover the Tsirík: the underlying mission of these people, chosen by Sibö to care for life, the secret of their survival, and the shield against alienation–the Guide to rediscover their path as seed.
