Specificatii
One country's sacrament is another's illicit drug, as officials in
South America and the United States are well aware. For centuries,
a hallucinogenic tea made from a giant vine native to the Amazonian
rainforest has been taken as a religious sacrament across several
cultures in South America. Many spiritual leaders, shamans, and
their followers consider the tea and its main component - ayahuasca
- to be both enlightening and healing. In fact, ayahuasca
(pronounced a-ja-was-ka) loosely translated means spirit vine. In
this book, de Rios and Rumrrill take us inside the history and
realm of, as well as the raging arguments about, the substance that
seems a sacrament to some and a scourge to others. Their book
includes text from the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic
Substances and interviews with shamans in the Amazon. One country's

Ayahuasca has moved into the United States, causing legal battles
in the Supreme Court and rulings from the United Nations. Some U.S.
church groups are using the hallucinogen in their ceremonies and
have fought for government approval to do so. The sacrament has
also drawn American drug tourists to South America to partake, say
authors de Rios and Rumrrill. But they warn that these tourists are
being put at risk by charlatans who are not true shamans or
religious figures, just profiteers. In this book, de Rios and
Rumrrill take us inside the history and realm of, as well as the
raging arguments about, the substance that seems a sacrament to
some and a scourge to others. Opponents fight its use even as U.S.
scientists and psychologists continue investigations of whether
ayahuasca has healing properties that might be put to conventional
use for physical and mental health. This book includes text from
the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances and
interviews with shamans in the Amazon.
