I know tons of people who take LSD all the time.... But none of them are enlightened. Some of them are more in touch with their own heart, and many of them have extra inflated egos.... I notice for some people LSD seems to enlighten you a little at first, and then your mind learns how to hide...

I copy/pasted this article from my blog to share it here. Hope you enjoy! This is a medicine not too many people work with these days depsite a long historical usage - perhaps the longest historical usage of any entheogen! Found on every continent of the planet besides Antartica, many claim...

I dieted coca about 2 or 3 years ago.... Probably my favorite dieta so far. This article was copy/pasted from my blog so I could share it with you: Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to diet Mama Coca under the care of a good friend who has dieted her before and was able to open my...

This was an older plant medicine experience I wanted to share - I copy/pasted this from my blog. This happened about 3 years ago at Temple of the Moon near Cusco while I was sitting with my friend Lesley Myburgh (she is a San Pedro shaman sometimes known as "la Gringa"). Not every ceremony is...

Thought I would share this from my blog - just copy/pasted for you: In the curanderismo traditions I study music is the main mode of magic and healing. If you want to cleanse the patient you sing. If you want to cleanse the room you sing. If you want to call on spirits, center your visions...

I thought I would copy/paste this article from my blog to share it - hope you enjoy! Most times when you hear about Ayahuasca you hear that it is a mixture of two plants and that the secret to Ayahuasca is that one of the plants has an MAOI which allows the DMT in the other plant to be orally...

I thought I would copy/paste this from my blog to share, hope you enjoy! Tobacco is a very misunderstood plant in our culture. Many people associate it with addiction and death, and considering it is one of the top killers in some countries this is understandable. But for thousands of years...

Just joined the forum.... Worked with many psychedelics in the past, but about 6 or so years ago I switched to only using plant medicines and no longer use any synthetic psychedelics.... I originally became interested in psychedelics after a NDE drowning in the ocean - the experience caused me...

I have ingested datura and brugmansia many times. Really great plants if you work with them right. I mostly work with much smaller doses and usually added to other medicines like San Pedro, mushrooms or Ayahuasca. One of the best benefits for me working with this plant is the way it opens up...

I never liked smoking cigs or smoking for recreation.... About 5 years ago though I started working with Amazonian jungle tobacco some people call mapacho. I use it in ceremony, for meditation, and I also work with it as a snuff - both the powdered rapé snuff and the liquid rapoté snuff. It...

For me my favorite is either live music, medicine songs, or just the sounds of nature around me.... I dont like recorded music during mushroom meditations except maybe as it winds down - I find the music too distracting..... I will often play flutes, sing, play guitar or drums during the...

After quidding I lost all interest in ever smoking this plant. Quidding is the way to go for me - super deep, profound and insightful. I also like making cold-pressed teas or tinctures with Salvia leaves - works very similar to the quid (you just swish instead of chew).... I notice silence...

The time I have the most dreams is when I havent smoked in a while and then start smoking again - for the first few weeks when I start smoking my dreams get very vivid and insightful. I dont personally experience cannabis blocking my dreams. Sometimes it enhances them.

I've cooked this a lot of ways before.... A few things I discovered: you dont really need to peel the waxy layer off the skin, it wont hurt you and doesnt change anything about the experience. I also notice the brew doesnt seem to get stronger after 3-4 hours of boiling..... I have cooked it...

I have drank San Pedro a few hundred times.... Really great stuff. It has helped me a lot and I have seen it help a lot of people. For the number of ribs slightly changes the personality of the plant.... Mescaline isnt just mescaline if you are trying to work with the spirit of the plant...

Ayahuasca is just a plant. Plants do not have any religion. They are just part of this earth like we are. But people using plants to connect with the spirit world can experience a deeper connection to their own inner faiths. There are a number of Christian churches that use Ayahuasca - the 2...

Tyramins are only an issue with non-reversible MAOI's. Some pharma MAOI's can be dangerous with Tyramine, though others are not. Ayahuasca is a reversible MAOI and so not dangerous with tyramine. Some of the most commonly recommended foods to eat before ceremony have lots of tyramine -...

My art is writing and music more then visual art.... I write a lot of books, but I also recently recorded some live acoustic songs I wrote about plant medicines: https://travsha.bandcamp.com/track/mamita-ayahuasca https://travsha.bandcamp.com/track/little-mushroom-children One about Ayahuasca...
