Psychedelic Individualism, a shift on purpose

Recently, there was a shift in Entheogens.

A shift in our purpose.

Entheogens once used to unite the community and are now met with individualism. This shift is nothing but a representation of our society.

We are beginning to absolve the sense of community and become focused on ourselves. Losing communion, compassion, love, and respect for others.

This might be an inevitable step for the evolutionary step, the German band Kraftwerk named Mensch-Maschine (Man-Machine).

Yet, Entheogens can still be the turning point for us to become a community once again.

Why do we take psychedelics during the night?

Have you ever wondered why we often take entheogens during the night?

Typically, we take entheogens to find peace of mind outside of our routines. But we can consume these compounds at any time of the day and have the same effect, or wouldn’t we?

Perhaps the connection between both is more ingrained in the exhaustion of our senses and missing our connection to nature than you may think!

Stories of a modern opioid eater

From Daquince’s use of opium to the modern era, many stories of opioid users have been lost. For that reason, we cover the stories of two opioid- users Benzzzy and Calvin, from what led them to their addiction, their difficulties during this period, their advice for people who might be going through addiction, and their current status.

In addition, we discuss the pharmacology student Anthony Furrule (@science_and_anonymous) about opioid prescription, opioid alternatives, the use of Ibogaine or its analogs for the treatment of addiction, and Narcan-resistant Fentanyl.

Origins of Ethnopharmacology

Aspirin, Digoxin, and Morphine aren’t the first thing that comes to our minds once we hear the word Plant Medicine. Regardless of their seemingly distant origin, all those compounds once had a plant origin. To this, we name ethnopharmacology. Using the word of Juerg Gertsch: “Ethnopharmacology tries to understand the pharmacological basis of culturally important plants.”

Today, ethnopharmacology has an equally important role, as we are using plants that have been used for centuries by natives. Plants such as Peyote, Ayahuasca, Iboga, Kava Kava, and Psilocybe aid us with the current mental illness epidemic. Thus, Indigenous communities are once again furnishing us and aiding us with their ancient knowledge, this being said it would only be unfair not to feature such communities in Psychedelic and Ethnobotanical conferences, giving them their due credit, and teaching us about how much these plants mean to their culture, and most importantly how we should respect and protect indigenous rights.
