It is so important for us to understand consciousness. It is just as important to place psychedelic drugs in general, and DMT in particular, into a personal and cultural matrix where we do the most good, and the least harm. In such a wide open area of inquiry, it is best that we reject no ideas until we actually disprove them. It is in the interest of enlarging the discussion about psychedelic drugs that I've written The Spirit Molecule. http://www.rickstrassman.com/pages/dmt/

The magic molecule animating Ayahuasca is the fearsome and revered tryptamine known as DMT. Aside from its strength, DMT in both its natural and synthetic forms is unique for the similar sensations and visions shared by its supplicants. Unlike other man-made psychedelics like LSD, synthetic DMT takes many users to the same "place," where they report meeting elfish, clown-like, and insectoid beings who frequently extend the same warm and welcoming message: "We've been expecting you." This phenomenon is documented in Dr. Rick Strassman's book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which describes his remarkable findings over the course of the first FDA-approved psychedelic study in more than 20 years, conducted at the University of New Mexico Medical School in the mid- '90s.

it probably has not been as "they" know it's power empirically. the puritanical society that we live in wrote it off as devil worship soon after pharmaceutical companies stole the plant knowledge from the shamans. 42% of all drugs get their impetus in the Rain Forest. people traditionally healed themselves with hallucinogenic plants, they have been the medicine of choice long before allopathic "quacks" came along. gov. tries to outlaw them as they work. u need sick people to make money off of.

@MWCstream it really helps to have a guide! the medicine is NOT childs play ;-] blessings!

Don't agree with everything he said. First of all, don't put all psychologists in the same bag. I am a psychotherapist, and I use a transpersonal approach with my consultants. I have also taken Ayahuasca several times so, some of us can offer more than illusions. Furthermore, he makes it sound like their method of brewing Ayahuasca is "the best". Every authentic Taita or Shaman will always put a bit of himself or herself into the brew be it through an ingredient or their own energy.

@certifiedhealthnut C. and for good reason !

[certifiedhealthnut]

@bskdopeboy i am on the side of conscious evolution. Ayahuasca is only a tool, like a knife it can be very useful or it can be detrimental if one does not RESPECT its PURPOSE!

[certifiedhealthnut]

@Voxnulla your either A) being facetious B) being coy C) being sarcastic D) living on another planet E) narrow minded F) some kind of genius only you can understand G) all of the above

[bskdopeboy]

@certifiedhealthnut I'm struggling to see which side you're on. Some chemicals change the way the mind works and when the mind is in this the state discussed here; it can be beneficial. End.

@certifiedhealthnut I hope that you are not implying that generating miracle treatments by interpreting random causal effect observed by people without written language and no means of unambiguously transmitting such complex concepts to future generations is somehow strange and vague all of a sudden. Are you so blinded by our modern day ambiguity or lack thereof, empirical methods and rampant successes that you can not see some truth in random events in the jungle ?

[Voxnulla]

@certifiedhealthnut Simple, I find it absolutely imperative to have access to some plant that some random ancestor ones claimed to have saved his life when bitten by poisonous spiders, luckily only resulting in having his arm having to be chopped off instead of much worse. Millions of arms are wasted like that daily, most likely. We need the plant and the singing and the totems on strings. We need them badly. I flinch when ever I see a daddy long-legs! What do we want? Shamanism! When? NOW!

[certifiedhealthnut]

@Voxnulla i dont understand your questions or postulations!

[Voxnulla]

@certifiedhealthnut Are you saying that having preserved the knowledge of hunter gatherers that have achieved that by painstakingly mixing up effect and causality, turning it into myth and tradition is a bad thing? What part did I screw up ? The excellent health service and medical stats for these people? The dire need for real bush craft to soup up our faulty modern science based healthcare? The truly magic properties of some root? what! What did I miss?
