#LSD: "#LeoZeff developed a screening process & it began with himself. He did not want to influence a person’s journey because he felt that the medicine and person had a sacred relationship with each other.

"#ClaudioNaranjo participated in #LeoZeff’s pioneering #LSDassisted therapy efforts and later contributed with his own research involving harmaline (an alkaloid found in #ayahuasca's B. caapi vine) and #ibogaine (the active compound in the sacramental African plant #iboga). Dr Naranjo was the 1st to scientifically investigate and describe the effects of the harmal #alkaloids and their application in #psychotherapy and to run clinical trials with the extract of the iboga."
