Ayahuasca Hallucinogen
When the Supreme Court stands up for "religious freedom" and allows some "group" that calls itself a religion to take a hallucinogenic substance as part of their religious practice, we have arrived at a knee-jerk acceptance of "religion" as meaning anything, thus nothing. We will, one day, come to realize as a people that any group, religious or otherwise, must adhere to policies and practice that do not violate the common sense moral code.
Yes,
there are groups of people who practice pedophilia. Pedophilia
is contrary to maximum survival of the population and cannot,
therefore, be a moral choice. It is, of course, well-accepted
as an illegal choice for behavior.
YOU might actually get a bit sick looking at the image on the left -- but you know, don't you, that there is SOME group of men who believe they have a "right" to practice sex with little boys!
These men may be called "insane" but there are many other types of "insanity" which society has not yet put the label on.
In this fashion any group can stumble onto a mind-altering substance, or a hallucinogenic substance and as they sink into the drugged stupor it certainly would not be unusual for them to "decide" that they are having a "religious experience."
Apparently
one Justice of the US Supreme Court, Mr. Steven Breyer, saw the
wisdom of stopping such "religious practice." Mr. Justice
Breyer LIFTED a court order that allowed the use of
Ayahuasca, even though it was shown that this use had some
connection with a religious practice. It matters to him that
this "religion" practices illegal behavior and justifies that
illegal behavior by saying that "freedom of religion" protects them.
There is something strange going on with Justice Breyer -- who is
one of the most stark liberals on the bench -- is it possible that
his Jewish (religious) heritage trumps his liberal bias?
It was also true that the original court order allowing use of this drug was based on a religious practice in Brazil, not the US (although a few Brazilian dopers could probably be found.)
The full Court reversed Justice Breyer's decision and granted these druggies approval to continue to drug themselves with a substance which would be illegal in the use by anyone not in this "group." Obviously a group would not likely claim that heroin was a vital part of their religious practice -=- and get away with it. The full court did say that they will rule on this issue again when the government brings in more/better data about the harmful nature of this substance. The full court, in one of those well-hidden decisions, recognized an international religious practice when it is sworn to uphold the constitution and laws of THIS country. If the court is going to validate a harmful drug substance because it is used in some legal fashion in a foreign country, that is the "internationalization" of the justice system that conservatives have long been critical of!
But, there is no end of mind-altering substances lurking in our jungles and farms -- and the careful manipulation of molecules from any such plant can and does increase the mind-altering nature of the "new" substance.
"Religion" cannot and should not be used as a means of practicing harmful behavior.

 Supreme Court Grants Church Ayahuasca RightsDecember 13, 2004Source The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday reversed a temporary stay issued by Justice Steven Breyer the week before that blocked members of a New Mexico church from using Ayahuasca tea in its religious ceremonies. The Court’s decision to lift Breyer’s stay means that members of O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal are entitled to drink tea made from Ayahuasca, a mild hallucinogen the church uses as a sacrament. That decision will remain in effect unless the federal government convinces the court otherwise at a future hearing. Prior to the full Supreme Court decision and Breyer’s earlier stay, a lower court had approved an injunction allowing the congregants to use the tea after the Justice Department had tried to ban them from doing so. The case is Ashcroft v. Uniao Do Vegetal.
Court Gives Thumbs-Up to Ahayuasca ChurchNovember 16, 2004A New Mexico church could be allowed to practice using Ayahuasca as early as Thanksgiving. Ayahuasca, typically brewed as a tea, is used as a sacrament in Native American religious ceremonies. This week, the 10th Circuit Court ruled in favor of the Brazilian Ayahuasca Church or Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal (UDV) and against the federal government in allowing the church to use the hallucinogen. The Justice Department originally banned UDV from using Ayahuasca because the drug is illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. Before the 10th Circuit ruling, a three-judge panel of the same court also ruled in favor of UDV. The panel had required the government to prove Ayahuasca was a serious danger to the health of congregants and that religious use would lead to significant non-religious use. This burden of proof was never satisfied. Church head Jeffrey Bronfman had this to say in an email to supporters:

 AYAHUASCA IMAGES |
|---|
DESCRIPTION
Ayahuasca is a term most commonly used to describe a combination of
plants and/or chemicals usually consisting of at least some harmala
alkaloids and some N,N-DMT. The word 'ayahuasca' is from the
Quechuan language and is used for both the harmala-containing vine
Banisteriopsis caapi and the medicinal/divinatory brew made from it.
The brew is a traditional South American preparation most commonly
combining the Banisteriopsis caapi vine (harmaline/harmine as MAOI)
and Psychotria viridis leaves (DMT). This combination is important
because N,N-DMT is broken down quickly in the body by the Mono Amine
Oxidase (MAO) enzyme and so it is not orally psychoactive unless
combined with an MAO-Inihibitor, such as the harmala alkaloids.
Ayahuasca is traditionally prepared by boiling or soaking the stems
of B. caapi along with various admixture plants, most commonly the
N,N-DMT containing leaves of the Psychotria viridis bush. The
traditional brews can also contain many other plants including
tobacco, brugmansia, datura, and a long list of others.
Outside the amazon basin, in cities around the world, ayahuasca is
prepared with a wide variety of ingredients including pure chemicals
(sometimes called 'pharmahuasca') or the root bark from
mimosa
hostilis/tenuiflora (sometimes called 'mimosahuasca'), and often
the seeds of
Perganum harmala (Syrian Rue) as a source of MAO-inhibiting
harmala alkaloids. Ayahuasca is known for its tendency to induce
vomiting in many users, its rich & complex visual effects, its
reported healing spiritual healing properties, and its powerful
mind-changing entheogenic effects.
[ Main Ayahuasca Vault ]
Dose
As the dosage of ayahuasca increases, the effects become stronger and more intense and at a certain point most people just black out and dont remember much of the experience.
Price
Ayahuasca brew is almost never for sale in the general underground market, but is sometimes sold or distributed within small networks of people. Component plant materials are available for a wide range of prices.
Law
While none of the standard plant constituents of Ayahausca are specifically controlled in the United States, N,N-DMT is Schedule I in the U.S. and in most countries. As a DMT containing preparation, Ayahuasca is generally considered to be illegal. Harmaline and Harmine are not scheduled in the U.S., but are schedule III in Canada. We are not aware of any other countries in which Hamine or Harmaline are scheduled. Religious use of ayahuasca was specifically allowed by Brazil's Supreme Court in the late 1980s.
Active Ingredients
Some south american shaman have said that the 'true spirit' of ayahuasca is in the B. caapi vine which contains the MAOI harmala alkaloids. They say that the DMT containing plants are primarily used to give the visions more color and depth, but are not the primary force of the message. Others argue that DMT is the dominant part of the brew as it is a far more psychoactive substance than a harmala alkaloid by itself.
Production
History
Harmaline was first isolated from Syrian Rue seeds in 1841 and the first Western record of the psychoactive effects of B. caapi (in Peru) was made in 1851. Several reports were published in the mid-Nineteenth Century about the use of B. caapi. In 1922-1923 a film of traditional yage ceremonies was shot and then shown to the annual American Pharmaceutical Association meeting. The popularization of Ayahuasca in writing and media during the late 20th Century has lead to many North Americans and Europeans travelling to South America to take ayahausca in "traditional" settings, creating a new industry around this "entheotourism". This industry helped cause a major shift in how ayahuasca use is viewed in its native lands. By the late 1990s, Ayahuasca brews begain being sold by street vendors in glass bottles in some cities in South America.
Slang
The Substance: Ayahuasca, Pharma-huasca (with purified DMT and Harmala), Huasca, Yagé, Caapi, Vine
The Experience: tripping, la purga (the purge)
EFFECTS
Onset
Depending on how much and how recently one has eaten and individual variation, effects begin between 20 and 60 minutes after ingestion.
Duration
With lower doses, effects last shorter, larger doses last longer, with the range being from 2-6 hours of peak effects with 1-8 hours after of lingering effects, depending on dosage and individual user variation.
Visuals
PROBLEMS
There are few, if any, serious injuries or deaths associated with
ayahuasca use, but it is quite possible to hurt oneself with it .
Because one of the major components of Ayahuasca is an MAOI, which
acts to inhibit a key enzyme in your body responsible for processes
in the brain and throughout the body, it is possible to have severe
negative reactions to Ayahuasca. Take care to find out about MAOI
interactions with prescription medications and with certain foods
before attempting any use.
When an MAOI is combined with a wide array of over the counter,
prescription, or black market drugs, the results can be very
unpleasant or fatal. There are
pages on
the net devoted to discussions of foods and drugs which are
contraindicated with any MAOI use.
Also, as with any intense psychedelic, ayahuasca can precipitate
short or long term changes in personality or catalyze psychotic or
neurotic episodes.

Does Zimbabwean Law Overrule the
Constitution?
If that seems like a stupid question, you haven't been paying attention. One of the most important contemporary issues is the effort by liberals to interpret our Constitution based on "international opinion," as reflected in court decisions and legislative enactments in other countries. Most Americans naively believe that the Constitution means what it says, and the job of judges in Constitutional litigation is to apply the language of that document to the facts before them. The left has long rejected this "simplistic" view, and has argued that general phrases in the Constitution must be interpreted so as to conform that document to "enlightened" opinion in this country. It is a small step to argue that the Constitution must conform to "enlightened" opinion as it exists in the "world community," a view that has gained increasing currency on the Supreme Court. Today, the Associated Press reports on a televised debate between Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Stephen Breyer on this topic. Justice Scalia argued that it is "arrogant" for American judges to mold the Constitution to fit their concept of enlightened world-wide opinion. But Justice Breyer was breathtakingly candid about the role that he thinks foreign countries should play in dictating American law: Breyer responded that international opinion can be relevant in determining fundamental freedoms in a more global society.
I'm not sure I would have believed that if I hadn't read it: "The law emerges from a conversation with judges, lawyers, professors and law students." No mention of the language of the Constitution; no mention of statutes enacted by Congress or the state legislatures; no mention of American customs, traditions, or popular opinion. Do you think this an extreme view? It is, of course, but the Associated Press doesn't think so. Its article calls Scalia a "conservative" justice, but does not label Breyer. His view is, from the AP's perspective, the mainstream one. (A personal note--Justice Breyer was my honors thesis adviser in law school. I did not view him, then, as an extremist; on the contrary, he was one of a handful of professors who introduced me to free market economics. But no Supreme Court justice has ever moved to the right after being appointed; not in my lifetime, anyway.) This discussion starkly illuminates the battle that will be fought over the Supreme Court during the next four years. The newspapers and television networks will tell you that President Bush's nominees, who will uphold the sovereignty of the United States and will decide cases based on our Constitution and statutes, and not some other countries', are "extreme." No one will suggest that those holding the opposite view--that American law should be decided by Europeans, Africans and Asians--are out of the meanstream. The stakes could not possibly be higher. |
Ayahuasca Church Blocked for NowDecember 2, 2004United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has blocked a New Mexico church from using Ayahuasca tea in its religious ceremonies. Earlier this month, a lower court had approved an injunction allowing the congregants to use the tea after the Justice Department had tried to ban them from doing so. Ayahuasca is used as a sacrament in Native American religious ceremonies. Breyer's temporary stay trumps the 10th Circuit Court, which had ruled in favor of the Brazilian Ayahuasca Church or Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal (UDV) and against the federal government in allowing the church to use the hallucinogen. The Acting Solicitor General, Paul Clement, argues that allowing UDV members to use Ahayuasca would violate United States foreign policy. "Compliance with the injunction would force the United States to go into violation of an international treaty designed to prevent drug trafficking worldwide, which could have both short- and long-term foreign relations costs and could impair the policing of transnational drug trafficking involving the most dangerous controlled substances," Clement wrote in a court filing. Clement's argument is similar to the one he posed in Raich v. Ashcroft before the Supreme Court this week. In Raich, the government argues that homegrown marijuana used legally for medical purposes in California and never sold could influence interstate commerce. |

Ayahuasca Goes to Court
International Medical Veritas Association
Mark Sircus Ac., OMD
The New York Times reported last week that the Supreme Court has added a religious case to be heard. The court will decide whether the government can ban the importation of a hallucinogenic tea central to the religious rituals of several Brazilian-based churches. The tea, known as Ayahuasca, is made from two plants from the Amazon that produce a chemical (dimethyltryptamine, usually known as DMT) listed by the federal government as a Schedule I controlled substance. Schedule I, on which DMT is listed, along with marijuana and other illicit drugs, is reserved for substances that the government considers to be particularly unsafe and to have no valid medical use. Though on the court’s docket for religious reasons, in reality it is a personal freedom issue as well as a medical one for there are wide ranging uses for this herbal formula.
Rejecting the arguments of the government, federal district Judge McConnell stated the following: "If Congress or the executive branch had investigated the religious use of Ayahuasca and had come to an informed conclusion that the health risks or possibility of diversion are sufficient to outweigh the free exercise concerns in this case, that conclusion would be entitled to great weight. But neither branch has done that."
Ayahuasca is a powerful holistic purgative medicine used widely in Brazil and Peru that is famous for its healing and transformation properties and has been regarded as the supreme holistic plant medicine throughout the western Amazon for hundreds of years. It is claimed to cure a wide range of physical, psychological, and spiritual maladies. One user described it, "I felt the presence of the plant racing throughout my body, peeking and poking into every nook and cranny in search of something to work on, to straighten out, to put back in order, to polish."
A person experiencing Ayahuasca sessions often shows remarkable mental and psychic improvement.[1] Ayahuasca has the power to facilitate significant changes in a very short period of time by interacting with the psychological mindset of each individual. It reflects what a person brings to it and almost universally has a positive effect, though many have a rough ride with emotional and mental purges that are accompanied by vomiting. After vomiting and such purges people universally experience heightened experiences that can be remembered for a lifetime. Ayahuasca is a herbal drink that should always be used with caution[2] and approached with an attitude of respect because of its remarkable power on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being.
Ayahuasca is a natural synthesis of two plants that have a detoxifying or purging effect. It cleans and purges the alimentary canal[3] and seems to do the same on mental, emotional and spiritual levels of being. Perhaps it does that simply by forcing a person back to their center, a place that is often long forgotten, trampled upon by all the confusion and hustle of modern life.
Dr Timothy Ray, a physician trained in oriental medicine, describes this type of process as taking a person into “present time” mentally and emotionally. He writes, “If a person achieves a resonance with the “now”, either through meditative states, laughter, all consuming physical and mental participation (great sex, real battle, and competition sports), spiritual experiences or transformational processes, their bioelectrical physical needs tend to recede while EEG viewed brain synchrony increases, measurably. Here we can explore the paradox that when a person approaches Point Zero, or selflessness, that they mysteriously gain longevity, functionality and happiness.”
Ayahuasca certainly has the ability to force a person into the “now” or it battles against our resistance to that space, forcing us there despite our resistance. When we resist the Ayahuasca is when we vomit but this releases us into “now”, as vomiting usually does. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, one of the fathers of chelation, says about this kind of process, “Psychological factors are always treated first and will usually unlock the system,” and this is as important in the treatment of general disease as it is in detoxification and chelation. Klinghardt believes that uncovering emotional conflict and the resolution of such has a tremendous impact on healing and detoxification.
Klinghardt’s Rule #7:
For each unresolved psycho-emotional conflict there is an aliquot of toxic material stored in the body: Whenever a conflict is successfully resolved, an even amount of toxic material can be easily released from the body. Vice versa, for each amount of mercury (or other toxins) released from the body, psycho-emotional material surfaces that has to be acknowledged, understood and processed! Failure to be aware of and help to resolve these issues is the most common reason for difficulties, side effects and crises during a detoxification program. Each toxin stored has a specific set of unresolved emotional and spiritual issues, which were responsible in trapping the toxin in the first place. Advanced spiritual masters have been able to drink poison and not be affected by it. The most profound mercurial issue is a lack of connection to God. In Greek mythology Mercury was the messenger who communicated between humans and god. The forces that would like to you to keep the mercury in your mouth or in your body are the same forces that benefit from you feeling disconnected from god (and therefore craving god- substitutes like money, cars, entertainment, excitement etc.)
Brazil is dominated by churches that use Ayahuasca in a controlled way in ceremony. In Peru and in the Amazon, however, one finds Shamans who know how to use it to set people free of limitations that are causing spiritual suffering and physical illness. The story of Donald Topping [4], Professor Emeritus formerly of the University of Hawaii, is an incredible tale of one man’s confrontation with Ayahuasca and the journey it took him on that ended with a reprieve from cancer.
I have personally had many wonderful and powerful experiences with Ayahuasca and have used it therapeutically with one difficult patient. I had started a form of medical therapy with a man who was dying, simply because he could not eat, and it seemed that the source of the problem was more from a rigid ego structure than anything else. So great was his ego that I felt I needed assistance from something really strong – Ayahuasca – so I convinced him to fly both of us from the coast of Brazil to the interior highlands where I have use of a retreat center, which grows the plants needed to distill Ayahuasca. Basically he went into the interior starving and came out two weeks later eating like a horse. Right out of the pages of Carlos Castaneda, the plant was a powerful helper in my quest to get to the roots of the man’s issues and then compel a change.
Ayahuasca is an unusual kind of medicine that should have its appropriate place in medicine, much like marijuana. I have published before about the medical insanity of shunning exceptionally safe substances that have beneficial medical uses and the wholehearted embrace of the use of the most toxic and poisonous substances on earth, such as mercury, which is still used in dentistry and medicine.
Ayahuasca and Autism
Dr. Bernard Rimland was bold enough to suggest that eating marijuana could hold an appropriate pharmaceutical place in aggression and self-abuse behaviors sometimes evident in mercury poisoning (autism) cases and it is equally possible that something like Ayahuasca could be used not only to clear intestinal problems but also to help unblock autistic children’s sense of separation from the environment and perhaps themselves.
As with any medicine, reactions are dose sensitive and thus effects can be carefully regulated. With controlled doses we can effect favorable changes in the intestines and monitor collateral effects to see if they are desirable or not. The US government and pharmaceutical companies will have none of this and most doctors are the least likely candidates to either recommend or administer such substances.
The real point I am making with this essay has nothing to do with the endorsement of either marijuana or Ayahuasca in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders. The point is to encourage those in all areas of caring for the health of others to open their minds to alternatives to mainstream pharmacology. So many of the ‘conventional’ tools come with toxic side effects that can and do kill many patients, that one wonders at the reluctance of the mainstream to consider alternatives. Ayahuasca is exceptionally powerful and should not be used without the supervision of someone highly experienced with it.
The Ayahuasca issue before the Supreme Court should not be taken lightly. Natural medicine and even the vitamin supplement industry are under broad attack (CODEX). In the age of deepening toxicity our need is not more toxic substances so readily offered by pharmaceutical companies, which gain the endorsement of governmental agencies, but gifts from mother earth. Our freedom to seek natural treatments is in doubt and there is nothing intelligent or benevolent about this.
Ayahuasca should be embraced by the medical community in need of powerful purging agents that will help people move through their issues while they detoxify. Dr. Klinghardt at least is clear on how emotional, mental and spiritual blockages can actually impede detoxification, and in this process Ayahuasca can possibly be put to good use. The overwhelming tendency in our age is toward pharmaceutical synthetic drugs with serious toxic side effects. The government and the medical establishment cry out of the dangers of using Type I substances mentioned in this essay but have no qualms about approving and using medicine that kills many people. For instance the FDA failure to act on research resulted in 140,000 Vioxx patients suffering heart attacks and 60,000 of them dying. That death count "is the equivalent of the Vietnam War
It is my hope that the Supreme Court will sustain the right to use this obscure substance called Ayahuasca and that wise and enlightened people will push for the wider use of natural substances that mother earth provides us in our need. If our right to use something like Ayahuasca is preserved then perhaps in the future, instead of endless therapy sessions or antidepressants, for confusion and unresolved mental conflicts, we will let this beneficial and enlightening plant assist us in opening our blockages and our minds.

They found anomalous increase in the density of platelet serotonin uptake sites in long-term users was a surprising finding. While numerous psychotropic agents, as well as other treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy, are known to down regulate platelet serotonin receptors, no other pharmacological model, other than Ayahuasca, has been demonstrated to increase uptake site density in platelets. The possible implications of this long-term effect, as well as the question of whether it reflects a similar effect occurring in the central nervous system, remains unclear.

If you are taking prescription medication (including
antibiotics), are subject to high blood pressure, have a
heart condition, or are under treatment for any health
condition, consult your physician about the use of
temporary monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI).
Medical consultation is especially important if you are
taking
Prozac, Paxil, Welbrutin, Effexor, Zoloft or other
antidepressants
affecting serotonin levels, i.e.serotonin selectie
re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI). These medications generally
require a period of up to six weeks to completely clear
the system and must be reduced gradually. Some may clear
the system in a shorter period of time. We recommend you
consult your physician about the risks of taking a
monoamine oxidase inhibitor in conjunction with your
medication. Based on growing anecdotal reports,
Ayahuasca seems to provide deep-rooted and often-lasting
relief from many common forms of depression. In many
cases, individuals do not feel they need to return to
pharmaceutical antidepressants after intensive
short-term treatment with Ayahuasca.
Non-prescription medications
such as antihistamines, dietary aids, amphetamines and
derivatives, and some natural herbal medicines, i.e.
those containing ephedrine, high levels of caffeine, or
other stimulants, may also cause adverse reactions. We
recommend that you discontinue all such medications,
drugs, and herbs for at least one week prior to and
following work with Ayahuasca.
[3] There
is evidence that suggests the use of isoquinoline and
tryptamine-related alkaloids such as the beta-carbolines
is effective in the control of intestinal parasitic
worms and microbes by forest-dwelling people. Because
these compounds are not only entheogenic, but also
powerful emetics with antimicrobial and antihelminthic
properties, it is suspected that the use of ayahuasca is
more than vision seeking; it is also chemotherapy for
parasites.
