“Medicine” churches are popping up in #Texas, offering members a potential legal cover for #psychedelic rituals.

People spend thousands to learn to administer #bufo, a trendy but rare substance. Experts worry there's little oversight, leaving these groups ripe for abuse. And what Andrew Logan experienced with the Universal Shamans of the New Tomorrow left him shaken.

@TexasObserver This is a very sad and disturbing article.

People are not going to achieve anything spiritual by participating in the abuse and death of animals.

Anyone can do a web search for synthetic 5-MeO-DMT and have it delivered in 2 days. If you believe that all natural is best, there are entheogenic plants and fungi much better for your body and mind, without harming the Sonoran Desert toad.
