Wasn't there a post on Ayahuasca recently? I'll have to go read up on it too. Thanks... Do you have a link on hand for Rogan's podcast?
Yup, here is the post. I've been doing a lot of research on this lately. If you want any suggestions for academic papers/books, let me know!Wasn't there a post on Ayahuasca recently?
Neither have I. However, these drugs appear to have ritual/spiritual/religious properties. Clearly there is a lot of misinformation out there about their nature. From what I've read, we have no idea what this experience is yet.
If you're interested in more research, MAPS held a conference back in 2013 in which they invited psychedelic researchers from a variety of fields to come and speak. They've hosted the videos online here. If you look under "Ayahuasca Track," you can see the talks specifically about ayahuasca. I haven't seen most of them since I spent most of my time checking out the interdisciplinary and clinical tracks, but what I did see was fascinating. Dennis McKenna was pretty good.
The best episodes by far are the ones with Joey Coco Diaz, who is by far the most entertaining man alive, and my personal idol of unapologetic, raw humanity. he's a trip, no pun intended. About DMT though, a quick google search gave me this but I don't know if it's any good :/
