This is kind of a victory. Not a little one : a step. Somehow, One of this days, this nonsense (fighting against entheogens), will end. The whole mankind will finally discover the power of it, as mankind discovered that it was possible to use fire instead of merely forbid it, that it had a useful power behind its danger.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like moving to South America. I know as well as anyone that not everything's cool and gravy down there, but across the continent there's a lot of interesting things happening. What ties them together is that they are decisions in defiance of what the self appointed Global Watchdog up north may deem "responsible" behaviour. If only the rest of the world had the balls to break with the sheepisness towards Uncle Sam and its coked out War on Drugs, Terror and nonconformism. I don't see anything like this happening any time soon, unfortunately, modern society is every day becoming more robotic and totalitarian, its citizens less and less inclined to think for themselves and more succeptible to the virus of docie imbicility. Perhaps, however, there is a future in South America, and in the coming decades it will be the place where free spirited humans choose to live, leaving all the other psychos back home to - as the Dutch so eloquently say - to stew in their own froth.

Au Bresil ou il existe l eglise Santo Daime ouverte au publique et La union do vegetal plus fermee et dont j ai fait partie ,l usage du Yage est parfaitement legal et ce pour des motifs personnels et spirituels .Cet enteogene est par ailleurs un exellent remede a l alcoolisme ,en l occurence non seulement si vous etes alcoolique vous vous arretrez de boire rapidement et facilement mais en plus vous vous purgerez litteralement le corp de toutes ses saloperies accumulees et ouvrirez votre esprit a une connaissance certainement plus devellopee de ce qu est le monde qui vous entoure.Ces plantes sont non seulement un bienfait pour l humanite mais aussi une alternative a la connerie ambiante de ce monde robotise en sa phase ultime de degenerescence mieux connue comme l age de fer en occident ou Kali Yuga en orient.

This is nice for sure and I agree with Don Jia, however, just because something is illegal to the status quo and laws of a country doesn't mean you can't get it and use it without anyone knowing :P

Besides, DMT (which is the most important thing in the Ayahuasca brew) is fairly easy to extract yourself by buying materials which are legal to sell/buy.

And most here will disagree, but I think certain entheogens should be hard to get because they will be abused by people who think it's for partying and seeing nice colors....totally disrespecting and wasting the gift.

So the only ones who can get it are the ones who will respect it and use it properly.

This will help to preserve culture and serve as a beacon of religious freedom - TRUE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM NOT BIASED WHITE MAN RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! (I'm white BTW. I'm tired of our governments' and many of our peoples' lack of respect of native religions and traditions.) This is an example of maintaining true freedom as opposed to just talking about freedom (as seen in my country) : I think South America is extremely cool.
