Excellent documentary about the Amazonian Shamans and their use of the sacred Ayahuasca vine to communicate with the Spirits of the Forest. Includes footage of peaceful drug-prohibition protests, an interview with Terence Mckenna, criticism of the so called “war on drugs” (essentially a form of cultural genocide), the corruption within large oil companies and governments, many civil rights issues, etc.
During the making of this film: * 16 million acres of Amazon Rainforest was destroyed. * 150,000 species became extinct. * In Ecuador, 9 oil spills released millions of gallons of crude oil into the head waters of the Amazon. * Scientists worldwide agreed that Global Warming and climate change is a major threat facing all life on Earth. * Natural disasters including volcanic eruptions increased. * In the Netherlands, the case against the Santo Daime was thrown out of court. The judge found Ayahuasca use was not a risk to public health and their constitutional right to freedom of religion must be respected. * Spain, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Belguim and The Netherlands decriminalised most drugs. * The USA gave the Taliban in Afghanistan $43 million dollars for the War on Drugs. * The USA was voted off the United Nations Human Rights Commision. * Humanity stands at the crossroads
This is a segment from an independent film that was made. The mushroom experience is absolutely unique. No matter who you are, or who you think you are, you will have a different idea of what the mushroom is. This is natural, however mushrooms, or psilocybin, entheogenic plant matter, whatever you call it is different than say an LSD experience. Each psychedelic has its own life to it, each is different. Lets take a look at these folks and their experience.
This is very thorough as well as practical in showing your how to gather the supplies,get your work areas ready, as well as showing you how to put the knowledge to good old fashioned practical use. Enjoy!
Watch the Inside Edition video segment on Jimson Weed which depicts two young men under the influence of the Jimson Weed, also known as Datura. What they seem to be experiencing is commonly reported among those bold enough to dive into datura. Experiences include severe hallucinations such as seeing and communicating to people that no one else can see, smoking cigarettes that do not exist and talking to “dead” people. What is interesting about this film is the common experience and hallucinations the two seem to share when they both enjoy an invisible cigarette together. Hallucinations experienced under Jimson Weed are unlike the hallucinations experienced through other psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs such as mushrooms and LSD.

Best to leave ingestion of this plant to the dedicated shamans among us. A lovely ornamental plant to grow, especially if you would like to attract hawkmoths to your yard at night with her powerful aroma.
Datura stramonium, also called Jimson Weed, gypsum weed, Loco Weed, Jamestown Weed, Thorn Apple, Angel’s Trumpet, and Zombie’s Cucumber is a common poisonous weed in the Nightshade Family. It contains tropane alkaloids that are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. The active ingredients are atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine which are classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics.
The effects of Datura have been described as a living dream: consciousness falls in and out, people who don’t exist or are miles away are conversed with etc. The effects can last for days. Tropane alkaloids are some of the few substances which cause true hallucinations which cannot be distinguished from reality. It may be described as a “real” trance when a user under the effect can be awake but completely disconected from his immediate environment. In this case, the user would ignore most stimili and respond to unreal ones. This is unlike psylocybin or LSD, which only cause sensory distortions. – Wiki
