An ode to the mythical hallucinatory properties of Jimsonweed. Also known as the moonflower, the thornapple, and datura. It is highly recommended that no one actually experiment with this plant unless, of course, you are into a long, slow, painful demise.or so the other half of the myth goes.

The Moonflower, or Jimson weed to some, blooms in the early evening for one night only and emits a faint musky-jungle scent. What a beautiful Clip!

This is a 10 minute documentary that I made for Channel 4 Docs. The film is based around my grandfather who suffered with Dementia for ten years (1996-2006) the film will take you through his journey from when he was diagnosed, up until his passing in August 2006.

Underneath the personal touch that this film provides is the argument over medical care for people with dementia. The Aricept drug is close to being stopped altogether for people with Dementia, be it the early stages or the later stages of the disease. Why take it away when it only costs £2.50 a day? When we have all these people taking drugs and providing them morphine and durgs for seriously obese people and not to mention all the other treatments for smokers.

When will the world open their eyes.. - localhero83

Mescaline is found in many types of cacti, most prominently in peyote (lophophora williamsii), San Pedro (trichocerus pachanoi) and the Peruvian Torch (trichocerus peruvianus). The mescaline content of the various mescaline containing cacti varies greatly between individual samples as well as between species. Following is an estimate of the mescaline contents of these three species. Although there has long been a myth that Trichocerus peruvianus is “10 times” stronger than T. pachanoi, there is not much data to support this view. Many reports indicate that peruvianus may be somewhat stronger than pachanoi, but this is hotly disputed among cactus experts.
 
* Lophophora williamsii - 300 mg / 27 g dried material
* Trichocerus peruvianus - 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams dried material (.3% - 2.0%)
* Trichocerus pachanoi - 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams grams dried material (.3% - 2.0%)

178 mg mescaline HCl = 200 mg mescaline sulfate.

Terence Kemp McKenna ( November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was a writer and philosopher. He was notable for his many speculations on subjects ranging from the Voynich Manuscript, the origins of the human species to Novelty theory.
 
Novelty theory claims time to be a fractal wave of increasing novelty (or creativity,complexity).
 
This novelty wave, when synthesized using his mathematically based computer program culminates dramatically in 2012.The meaning of this culmination was once described by Terence, “Because of the speeding up of this wave of novelty we will discover infinitely higher amounts of novelty between now and 2012 in comparison with the big-bang up until now.”
 
His concept appeared to involve a combination of Entheogens, hallucinogenic chemical agents, Gaianism, and shamanism.
 
For more information on Terence Mckenna’s theories take a look at his published works:
Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution by: Terence McKenna
The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History by: Terence McKenna

 
Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within is a feature length documentary which invites the viewer to rediscover an enchanted cosmos in the modern world by awakening to the divine within.
 
The film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness, electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds. Within a narrative framework that imagines consciousness itself to be evolving, Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn? Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.
 
Stan Grof, Marilyn Schlitz, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, Terrence McKenna, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison among others, postulate how the disenchantment of the modern world may be remedied by summoning the courage to take the next leap in the evolution of planetary consciousness.
