Interesante artículo sobre el estatus legal de la Ayahuasca en España, la visión morbosa y distorsionada que se da de ella en los medios, y el progreso de los estudios científicos al respecto. Digamos que la ciencia está certificando lo que vienen sosteniendo y aplicando comunidades indígenas desde hace siglos.
Nunca pensé que leería algo sobre la Ayahuasca en abogacia.es 😯

Then, collect some chacruna leaves (Psychotria viridis).
Excuse the plastic bag 😅

Let's talk about the preparation of ayahuasca. What is ayahuasca?
It is a brew made of the ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi, on the left) and the leaves of chacruna (Psychotria viridis, on the right). Both growing natively in the Amazon.
I took these photos in the state of Acre in Brazil.

The DEA report on ayahuasca risks: “Science” in service of prohibition?

Abstract On February 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released a document to the legal team representing the Church of the Eagle and the Condor (“CEC”). This disclosure came two years after the church, in conjunction with Chacruna Institute, submitted two FOIA requests to the DEA and the Department of Justice requesting all records pertaining to ayahuasca. This report, titled “Ayahuasca: Risks to Public Health and Safety,” was issued in July 2020. In the present article, we challenge a number of claims made in the DEA report and highlight significant factual omissions, theoretical biases, and misinterpretations of existing data. We will demonstrate that the DEA report severely downplays the safety profile and therapeutic potential of ayahuasca and overemphasizes the risks. It also fails to include current research on ayahuasca demonstrating its potential benefits.
