It started with an Ayahuasca healing retreat... I really did'nt know what to take of it. Of course it's widely public, so they had to try to make it look bad. And all they could come up with is someone puking? Really?

Of course they had to make LSD, and Ibogaine look bad. But atleast they covered the positive aspects of the 2 also. Man, I wish I could absorb 1000 hits of acidShocked Let alone find it anymore.

I am well aware of pshycedellics healing powers, but if any of you seen it what did you think, and how do you think it came across to the mainstream public? Just curious.

I personally enjoyed it. Spreading the healing properties of these psychedelics is generally good. People who are unfamiliar with these cultures will probably have been persuaded towards the purity of these sacraments. However the whole series seems to be twisted towards the drug MARKET( ie Drug Inc) so it is naturally skewed towards the ugly side. With that being said I think the people making the series discovered how beneficial these plants are and I was actually surprised that they talked about medical mushies, aya, and ibogaine. I was actually under the impression they were going to talk about tripping. Still any form of media is bad especially in regards to religious sacraments. None of the viewers can see the whole truth without first hand experience and with such a deficiency in knowledge trusted sources such as Nat geo can completely change a persons moral stance on the subject. IMHO the show was good but media coverage was bad

I've actually found this show (other episodes - I haven't seen the one that was on tonight yet) to be quite informative. I do not think it is a biased show at all, though sometimes it will come across as slightly exaggerating some risks, etc. But overall it is a very informative kind of show and I have learned at least something from every episode. It's far from the propoganda I've sometimes seen from these kinds of shows. More of a balanced look at things, covering everything from the supply, the dealers, the users, the law enforcement, etc. I've seen episodes on ecstacy, hash, heroin, etc that have been very good overall. I never knew, for example, that they cut down trees to make ecstacy from sassafras oil, which I learned from this show. As long as I learn something I think it's well worth watching.
