Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic.
Hallucinogens are a value changer...like it or not, it changes your values, it opens up windows (doors of perception.)
It's the only hallucinogen I know, where if it's made right, the next day, or the day after the experience, you actually feel better than if you hadn't done it.
The peak of empathogens can be characterised as earthly paradise in comparison to the heavenly paradise of LSD and hallucinogens of that category.
I don't believe that shamanism without hallucinogens is authentic shamanism or comfortable shamanism.
The most powerful hallucinogen in this planet is called Love. Highly Addictive! You will see and hear things that don't exist!
In the absence of good scientific data about the effects of artificial hallucinogens it's good to stick to the natural ones.
For unknown reasons, there is a tremendous concentration of psychoactive plants on the South American continent. The South American continent has more known hallucinogens than the rest of the planet combined.
It's my belief that one of the unconscious reasons which underlies the odd attitude of the establishment toward hallucinogens is the fact that they bring the mystery to the surface as an individual experience. In other words, you do not understand the psychedelic experience by getting a report from Time magazine or even the Economist. You only understand the psychedelic experience by having it.
