Big WOW! Who whould have thought that any government would ever release statements like these: "the effects produced by its consumption are equivalent to entering the secrets of the spiritual world..." and, "knowledge of ayahuasca states is required for all members of Amazonian societies at some point in their lives, and is essential for assuming the role of privileged individuals..."

In the statement of recognition, the Peruvian government maintains that the ayahuasca has psychotropic qualities, namely that act on the psyche, the mental activity, behaviour, perceptions and is known worldwide as a plant indigenous to transmit wisdom for the beginner on the very foundations of the world.

Hvis man anerkender rituel/religiøs/shamanistisk brug af psykedelika, er man så ikke også nødt til at anerkende hvis nogen starter en ny religiøs tradition som involverer psykedelika?
