๐Hallucinogenic drugs....San Pedro...ayahuasca...LSD ...magic mushrooms....are back in the spotlight. ๐๐
There is clearly a great deal of public interest and much to discover about the magic of healing with plant medicines, there are countless resources online if you want to find out about working with teacher plants for your own healing. ๐๐๐
There have also been a series of recent studies suggesting that psychedelics may be useful for alleviating depression and anxiety, PTSD, and even addiction. ๐จโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐งช
Ayahuasca tourism is well established in South America. Its use by Westerners interested in healing and shamanism has raised the profile of the traditional medicine globally. ๐ผ๐
According to the Ethnobotanical Stewardship Council (ESC) Peru and Colombia are "well-travelled, with tens of thousands of foreigners taking ayahuasca there every year,"
So what's it all about?????
Isn't it dangerous to even promote the use of drugs to expand the mind???? ๐ง ๐คฏ
This week Jonathan and I have an open, enlightening and honest chat about the benefits, drawbacks and dangers of using plant medicines.
