  • I thought they were gonna smoke salvia

  • In animal studies with primates, delta-9 THC caused a marked decline in overt aggressive behavior. Cannabis is effective against violence. Find out more with iStrainGuide @ itunes or on Twitter.

  • who cares ..........

  • APPLESAUCE

  • lots of the people posting on this page are very naive. You cannot compare ayahausca to cannabis. just like you cant compare heroin to marijuana. when is human race going to wake up. i am truly displeased and disappointed. if any of you naive, proud and obstinate motherfuckin' american assholes wants to voice your opinion my email is right here. fuck obliviousness, make yourselves aware. INTELLIGENCE is the only thing we humans need. if youre not ok with that burn away in your hell of ignorance

  • @almostcutmyhair101 You're being just as ignorant by assuming all of the anti-drug people on this page are Americans. Being a hypocritical asshole, in my opinion, is worse than being some ignorant moron blinded by the DEA. So fuck off.

  • @Killer191919that's all you got. im hypocritical for assuming that they're americans. fuck you and the horse you rode in on. how on earth does this make me ignorant?

    thats besides the fact it doesn't matter if they're american or not. ignorant people are insulting psychedelic and shamanic cultures. its this mentality, the small, undeveloped brown people living in the rain forrest are somehow inferior to all that is western civilization.

    so you fuck off, with your cynical mumbo jumbo.stop digging

  • The amount they have at a time is something which they are sort of weened onto from a young age, and therefore their bodies are fully accustomed to ingesting the liquid. There have been a lot of possible links between marijuana and permanent mental side effects and other health effects. When it comes down to health vs. religion, health will prevail. Which is why this drink has been legalized for the very small number for Santo Daime followers in Westernized nations, whereas marijuana has not.

  • people like to talk down on things they dont understand, dont be mad at the people posting hate (despite how wrong or ill-informed they are). Thats what they were bred to believe and thats what they are

    ignorance is bliss ya know

  • Reminds me of Brave New World with the group orgy with the flashing lights of "unity".

    If anyone hasn't read the book basicially it is a dystopian society where Christianity is gone and what replaces it is a secular activity involving singing and drugs.

  • They are not crazy; until you try it you just cant understand it. Remember it is always easier to make fun of what you cant comprehend, rather than try to understand it. I do agree that in the church it is silly, but in nature with a shaman it is amazing. Actually it is DMT

  • This is not fair... they can use that for their religious beliefs while people in extreme pain can't have access to medical cannabis? Not to mention it's hypocrisy because the Rastafarians can't legally use their Cannabis to get closer to God too... ?

  • @nickyjam305

    yes they can

  • @nickyjam305 Except so many people in America are claiming to have "religious reasons" to consume drugs like marjiuana. Additionally, this was legalized because a LOT of research was done on it and it has been proven that there is no negative side effect from long term use of the drink. They use it only during certain occasions and ceremonies, not on a regular basis.

  • @nickyjam305 That being said, health should always prevail, which is why I agree that cannabis should be legalized throughout the nation for medical purposes only (for the time being..)

  • crackheads

  • try it before you spout off at the mouth.

  • its obivous and true bro.. come on.. heavy drug users or drug curious people make up any damn reason to justify the use of it.. just like alcoholics, crackheads, potheads and the others....i understand it could be usefull for terminally ill patients but perfectly healthy people..no. its just a justification for their self fullfillment to a legal contunuation of the use of the drug they like to take...

  • and what does that have to do with you if they do?

  • none at all.. i could careless ... its just riduculous how some try to illustrate this who complicated reason why they have to high... just easier to say, "i like smoking and getting high, feels bad ass" or "im addicted to this shit"..etc.. isnt that easier? ... yeah..

  • @torzidotwisted

    IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT GETTING "HIGH"

    research about stuff before you make assumptions, no hate I just don't want you to sound any more ignorant

  • say bro.. im not anti drug.. if anything its possible to categorize me as an alcoholic judging by the way i drink.. but is just the way they try to justify it.. man is much easier for them to say that the like getting high.. the same with me.. i dont deny the fact that i get stupid drunk at times.. if anything im for the legalization of all drugs.. let drug users do the drugs they want.. this would eliminate all the killings in south america, mexico, and United States as well..

  • let everybody that like getting high to do so.. but not give them any government assistance when they end up in the hospital as a result... what do you think? isnt that a wonderful idea?.... lol

  • @torzidotwisted

    your post lacked any persuading evidence against your anti-drug claim. I dont even do drugs and I know that your just picking a side for no reason.

  • These people are fucking crazy o.o.....

  • OH, they can have that, but I can't smoke a joint here in FL without breaking the law. Alcohol kills more people and is way more addicting and dangerous to detox from. It's effects can be completely debilitating and can also fuel violent behavior Yet, I can't smoke a joint without breaking the law. So, I guess I'm gonna go get a case of Heineken. I love that stuff!!

  • So basically, it's a healthy, drinkable version of Ecstasy? FUCK GIVE ME SOME.

  • FUCK yeah, I think its datura, mexican sage and worm wood.

  • fukin creepy

  • I BELIEVE!

    Now give me some drugs!

    I'd take a shot and bounce to my place to play some video games in high def.

  • Whats this drug called or made out of any one know?

  • lol mix a lil bit of this and sum crack!

  • All religions are cults. Take the death cult called christianity that can't wait for the end of the world.

  • What the hell, this is a cult.

  • Man,in the name of religion, you can get away with a lot of things, too bad that I am an atheist cannot even get a tax break.

  • That! I could not agree more. Our country needs to stop this practice. Why is it that churches dont pay taxes? Can this be explained to me please?

  • A Santo Daime rave? Far out!

  • Religions are fake

  • @chowzeb agreed

  • They also have daime churches in Oregon. It's legal since it's for religious purposes.

  • so what is the drug they are taking in english terms????????

  • DMT or Dimethyltryptamine. Very strong hallucinogen, very beneficial to the human mind.

  • i ya what the penial gland makes without it were...well dreamless.

  • well, the religious part is bullshit

  • @djderk agreed

  • this is so cool!!

  • drinking the blood of christ, how vampiric.

  • but we all trip on this drug every night when we go to sleep so why would there be any harm from ayahuasca - it's the exact same drug.

  • beautiful to watch, awesome man

  • LUL WUTTT?????

  • hippies... I would love to try that shit tho. Im all about getting in touch with yourself and meditation.... but mixing catholicism and anything is a bad idea.... Religion is too cultish for me. I'll stick to my pot...

  • @mushugai oh shut up. it's not that catholicism is a problem its the people driving it to the fucking ground. if a religion is using psychedelic drugs as an archetypal priest rather than a human, that is all the better. remove the middle man. silly americans, no respect.

  • Shaman and Catholic? Well I'm half so I'm in! xD

  • YOo can take heroine as long as you don't ABUSE it. It's all perception and purpose.

  • lemme get some of dat shit!!!

  • hahaha hauska is the finnish word for fun. I GET IT NOW

  • just a bunch of stoners if u ask me

  • Agreed

  • Comment removed

  • @MastaShake99 you sound like a prejudice asshole to me.

  • @MastaShake99 You say that like it's a BAD thing.

  • Actually, ritual (mind-altering by its very nature) needs to be decoupled from religion--or the definition of religion needs to be broadened to encompass non-dogmatic, non-theistic ritual. All of us can benefit from the use of entheogens (hallucinogens); they are the ultimate in recreation (in the original sense of the word: re-creation). Entheogen use in a ritualized context is a way of connecting with others on the most profound levels & looking at life & ourselves from different perspectives.

  • @mapmanic

    If you need mind altering substances to see yourself differently,you really need to re-evaluate, not re-create. brain washed dope heads if you ask me. Hell Indians drink Paoti to have visions, maybe that's why their culture is based on killing everyone else.

    Say no to drugs and the people who would tell you it's a vision aide. ARE PEOPLE REALLY THAT GULLIBLE?!?!?!?!

  • "Hell Indians drink Paoti to have visions, maybe that's why their culture is based on killing everyone else."

    ?????????????????????????????

  • lol, not true but funny.

  • So, I guess you don't use any mind-altering substances--you don't drink beer or coffee? You're probably a teetotaling alcoholic, right? ... and you're really pissed you can't have a drink anymore. Seriously, dude, you sound retarded. (It's peyote, btw.) If there ever was an example of brainwashing, it would be the anti-drug campaign in the US--of which you are a victim. Drug abuse and alcoholism are bad, I agree, but prohibition is much worse. Indians' culture based on killing... wtf?

  • wonder what it tastes like....

  • It looks like shit blended. I wonder if it tastes as bad as it looks as well.

  • @fgfuyfyuiuyf looked like a strawberry smoothie!

  • @fgfuyfyuiuyf I did a research paper and interviewed some people who've taken it. They said it tastes a bit like stale beer mixed with cigarette ash. Usually, people throw up after taking it because of a reaction between enzymes in the drink & enzymes in the stomach.

  • Hallucinations are not views into a supernatural world, they're hallucinations. It's like these people know nothing of biology.

  • I WANNA GET THAT HIGH!!

  • fuck yeah!!

  • the reason there is no harm from DMT and this drink is because its NATURALLY PRODUCED IN THE BRAIN, and is the chemical that causes you to dream when you are asleep

  • Dimethyltriptamine!!

  • i would like to join this cult now!! :D

  • I don't think cult is the right word....

  • WTF there are no proven harmful psychological effects of marijuana yet Rastafarians cannot smoke it???

  • thats one reason Russia is banning cults

  • that is religious descrimination that these people can use their religious drug and yet rastafarians cannot smoke marijuanna in america. just one more example of religious bigotry in america.

  • wow, get a clue

  • drinking the blood of christ, wonderful.

  • silly...

  • religion is so hypocritical.

  • LOL looks good i wanna try it

  • all these people are just stoners

  • dat dmt

  • @Brolock1 Yeah it is. i never knew you could drink it and not pass out.

  • I always thought the Blood of Christ was red wine.

  • merlot, specifically.  jesus had merlot in his veins.

  • Drugs to help them further concrete their conviction in bronze age mythology? I can't say that is a positive thing. Try observing reality when deciding whether something exists within reality, not altering what you perceive as reality to see what you desire. Very sad.

  • spoken like a true outsider.

  • Legal in the US hmm?

    Time to convert!

  • Pussy

  • I want to try that

  • @nick0163 Its Dmt. Pretty hard to get and expensive in the US.

  • @xcwa8900 guess I'll stick to the herb....

  • Hell  yeah man my friend just got two hits of Dmt which is just enough for two people. It cost 50 dollars so 25 a piece. We buy a cut of pot for 25.

  • A drug that is the "Blood of Christ?" Hmm?

  • No one is profiting out of the Daime (the drink's name) that's why it is legal. Now, if it starts to be sold and becomes as popular as weed, say good-bye to Santo Daime (the religious sect)

    One other thing, alchool changes one's behavior and psychocological state, so why the hell is it legal? Nicotine kills MF's that don't smoke! Why is it allowed?

    This so called civilized world of ours makes no sense at all.

  • wow.drugs in religions.WOW

  • its not a drug

  • I first have to try it to pass judgement

  • The worst ingredient on the mix is religion.

    Induce people to believe in things that aren't real.

    Some people need to believe and they are susceptible to easy manipulation.

    Soon the leaders will start to make some money.

    It will be nice do that just for the emotional and sensorial experience.

  • they are just high

  • this looks like so much fun

  • even if the "drug" caused harm, the government needs to fuck off

  • their way of connecting with god is just as legitimate as any other religion

  • wow these people do drugs and hallucinate and think they are connecting with "god" lmao

  • while you sit back and judge them through youtube.

  • dont need to see them in person, trust me i have already, they are nuts, delusional, god delusion if you will ;)

  • oh, I always trust people who say "trust me".

  • Magical Jeebus blood. xP

  • this is bullshit how the hell is the active ingredient illegal and is classified as a schedueled class 1 drug but these people can consume it just because of religion?! bullshit weed is better but its illegal and has more benefits.... the reason why its illegal is because of racism and religion and the corrupt goverment

  • @Sirjosh408 Yes, exactly. Both should be legal--cannabis and ayahuasca. But really, now, why is it a bad thing to have fun with a mind-altering substance? We do this legally with alcohol. Seems that the current drug prohibitions are just bigoted attempts to legislate morality.

  • i support the legalization of weed since im a wed user my self but it annoys me to see such a beautiful plant be ated by some people in the world... i dont drink alcohol because alcohol kills brain cells so i stick with the green all day aby

  • @Sirjosh408

    FACT: Weed is healthy!

    FACT: There never has been a reported death from weed.

    FACT: You can't get cancer from weed only from the blunt/joint itself.

    There's more fact's about weed just don't feel like writing more. Lol

  • @Sirjosh408 - this is in the amazon region of Brazil.

  • @spamllpitdept

    The video mentioned specifically that the drug is schedule 1 in the US, but that practitioners of Santo Daime in the US are exempt for religious reasons. That's what sirjosh408 is talking about.

  • kind of like marijuana, doesnt cause any damage, esp if ingested!

  • @belford82 It can cause a lot of damage even when ingested. Do you know what marijuana is? It's not a single drug like alcohol its over 400 different chemical components. The second Thc enters your body it begins it's effects on your brain. I used to sell for a living I know my drug. If you want me to get further into this, ill be happy to man. :)

  • @guitarguy780

    What are you talking about?!?!?

    Weed is healthy, And if you eat it, it's even more healthier.

  • theres alot worse things than marijuana! if it harms u is to be debated, im no scientist or doctor, if u are, STUDY IT

  • 0:54 That man kinda looks like a Brazilian Obama.

  • asdfghjkl; 2

  • 11111111111111111 and wow
