Thank you Shirley for taking the time to make a Full Submission. This is a subject that really makes me question. Mostly, it makes me question the stupidity of our current drug laws and the drug "war." That I can't legally grow a peyote cactus or a pot plant to me is ridiculous.
I also question and wonder what the psychedelic experience may have been like to ancient shamans and their societies. I wonder if perhaps there was more recreation involved than we ordinarily assume.
Anyway, a fascinating subject, I'm sure I will have more to add when time allows.
