Ryan replied to Abandhana's discussion 'Entheogens' in the group Native Plant Uses
I've used a number of entheogens, all great experiences I wouldn't trade for anything. In fact they have been essential sculpting the way I see what we like to call reality. I've used cannabis in various forms since I was 15. When I first started i…

"I think it depends on your constitutional type (see info on Ayurveda) as to how a plant might affect you. There is a plant called Turtlehead (Chelone glabra) that for most is a simple bitter. For those with a more Vata constitution, it really slows…

Hello, Thanks for the great conversation! For thousands of years, cultures world wide have used plant medicine to expand consciousness and gain deeper insight. Here are a few things I must share in the interests of safety and respect. First, to anyo…

Perhaps the sling was abandoned for more effective long term weapons like the bow, nets, or traps. It would point back to the times when our culture shifted from hunter/gatherer nomads, to more settled, agricultural people. People who had more time…

When I lived in Tucson, AZ I took a class with a man named Randy Kinkade. He taught several different primitive skills classes in the area. The one I took was on slings-making and using them. The guy was badass with his sling and his son (who was li…

Abandhana added a discussion to the group Wilderness Survival Skills
My contemporary history of anceint times tells me that the sling was among man's first and most primitve missle weapons. Militia specializing in the stone sling were reported to have been able to aim at either eye of the enemy from fifty yards. It w…

Thanks for the link! I had heard that you don't really have a psychedelic type experience but as you describe, a greater lucidity. One friend who took some said it kept him awake and alert without the jitters of caffeine and that things were very cl…

I agree, and that's the difference between use and abuse. I can abuse caffine as likely as I can abuse San Pedro - whose active alkaloid is mescaline, and if you've had the opportunity to read Aldous Huxley's personal account ("the doors of percepti…

Please do share how you prepared the San Pedro! I am growing one indoors (live in VT). Don't they also call it "claro"? There are many plants that, as one of my teachers used to say, get some of the people high some of the time. I think it depends o…

hello all. I've been into primitive skills for a while now, but I've recently relocated and I can't find any gatherings or schools to faclitate my passions. Please, please if anyone has information or knows where I can find some about primitive skil…

Abandhana added a discussion to the group Native Plant Uses
An Entheogen is any natural material prepared and consumed as a sacrament for ceremonial or religious purposes (some more notorious entheogens are potent psychotropics). Usually these "magic potions" are adminisitered by Shaman or healers - most are…
