An informative and compelling exploration of Shamanic use of Ayahuasca, the extraordinary visionary brew. Human Future will be designed on how conscious we will be able to make ourselves and if there are plants that can accelerate consciousness then we must seek out and utilize these things. Something could jump out of some unexpected dimension and change everything. - Terrence McKenna Shamans of the Amazon by Dean Jefferys is one of the best documentaries available on the use of ayahuasca in contemporary context, in traditional cultures that are being destabilized by the forces of globalization. As Jefferys' documentary makes clear, the revival of traditional shamanic practices with ayahuasca is proving to be a potent political and propaganda tool for reaffirming and preserving cultural values and identity in indigenous societies that are buffeted by environmental, economic, and societal forces beyond their control. - Dennis McKenna PhD, co-author The Invisible Landscape In a time when indigenous people, their culture and the natural environment are experiencing dramatic changes, this in depth series of programs examine what these "Shamans of the Amazon", their hallucinogenic rituals and their special relationship with nature have to offer humanity at this crucial time in history. Discover how westerners around the world are using Ayahuasca and other Shamanic plants to receive knowledge, to understand their relationship with nature and to seek visions of how best to deal with deep personal, spiritual and environmental questions. In a say no to drugs era, there is a new subculture emerging, with a basis of the ancient ritual of hallucinogenic plant use. —Paul Gerard Kennedy

Everywhere around us, there are signs of a psychedelic renaissance: in medicine, therapy, commerce, and the arts. These drugs are getting serious, positive coverage in glossy magazines, best-selling books, literary memoirs, documentaries, and hit podcasts. Performers like Reggie Watts, Melissa Etheridge, and members of the Flaming Lips openly acknowledge the role of hallucinogens in their work. And a flourishing psychedelic comedy scene is springing out all over the place. But federal prohibition of psychedelics—a term that refers to a broad category of consciousness- and perception-altering substances—is also changing. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to approve therapy using psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredients in magic mushrooms, and MDMA, the drug also known as ecstasy and molly. And Oregon and Colorado have decriminalized the recreational use of plant-based psychedelics. Word is that even the president—famous as a teetotaler, for having an addict son, and as a major force behind the half-century-long drug war—is "very open-minded" about medicinal use of psychedelics. The most recent, pulsing Day-Glo sign that the psychedelic renaissance is here took place in Denver in late June at the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference, organized and hosted by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS.

BRACE YOURSELF FOLKS! ..because the Propaganda is REAL, FAST AND FURIOUS! Welcome to the LIES & FAKE NEWS/SCIENCE long told by the Parents and Governments of the WORLD. and ALWAYS, do your own research... It’s the late 1960s. Teenagers, a hip voice clues us in, are always looking for kicks, and today’s teens express themselves with cool fashions, groovy hairstyles, and kooky pranks. Not so long ago, our narrator played the character of “Plato,” a troubled teenager, in the 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause. In that film, Plato idolizes the reckless machismo of young Jim Stark (played by James Dean). In an epic display of bravado, Jim and another boy play a game of “chickie run” in which they drive their cars in parallel directly toward a cliff. Jim leaps from his vehicle at the last moment, while his opponent crashes over the cliff and dies, the automobile exploding on impact. Now, little more than a decade later, Sal Mineo (unidentified until the end credit) carries forward the moral of the story in LSD: Insight or Insanity, a 27-minute-long anti-drug propaganda short from Bailey Films, an educational movie and filmstrip company located in Hollywood. The movie warns teens against rebellion, mistrust of authority, thrill-seeking drugs, and misguided attempts to prove themselves.

Welcome to the REAL History of Psychedelics, with this Classic Propaganda Hit piece on LSD, Behold, the Ignorance, Miss-perception and outright BOLD FACED LIES, perpetuated and spun , by the ESTABLISHMENT, AUTHORITARIANS, and the like, that have DEMONIZED , so wrongly, this amazing Substance. This clip comes from a television documentary made in the summer of 1967 in San Francisco. It was the Summer Of Love and LSD was being widely used by young people who considered themselves part of the counterculture movement in places like the Haight-Ashbury district. This teenager was put in a mental institution by his mother to stop his use of LSD - what she felt was destroying his mind LuLz ../FACEPALM!
