Flux Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) just a thought...it would be cool to see if EGA 2017 could incorporate a screening of 'Dying to Know' the Leary-Ram Dass film premiered in the US recently http://dyingtoknowmovie.com/ Edited August 27, 2016 by Flux 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anodyne Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Iain McGregor Dunno if this guy is too mainstream for EGA or in the wrong area of research (more psychoactives in general than psychedelics specifically), I've never been to one of these things so I'm not sure what the crowd is like. But he is a great speaker, has a very infectious enthusiasm about his field and is doing current research into a range of topics around psychoactive drugs, some of his specialties are synthetic cannabinoids and emerging analogues: Quote "I remember when some of these things were developed 20 years ago. Occasionally we'd think, 'My God, I wonder what this would do to a human, because look what it does to rats. What really concerns me is how long before something really, really nasty comes along," the professor says. Already they've noticed that some of the cannabinoids have had their structures altered through the addition of fluorine, which has been linked to severe kidney damage and even birth defects. "So what if there is one like thalidomide - how long will it take us to realise that?" McGregor's department is setting up an early warning system, testing the new drugs' toxicology and publishing the results on the internet. Years ago he gave a little bit on some ABC program where he offhandedly mentioned some theory that the memory effects of cannabis are due to it mimicking an endocannabinoid system that developed to help us forget irrelevant stuff so that we don't go batshit insane like those poor mnemonists - it totally changed the way I thought about that. But if you can just turn on the TV & see him talking on Catalyst (albeit about his more mainstream topics of study), then perhaps he's not what you're aiming for here. Definitely watch out for his media appearances though - he seems to have the rare skill of saying sensible harm-minimisation stuff in a really media-friendly non-controversial way, we need more people like him!

Ajnadurga Posted October 30, 2016 Fabian Piorwsky is an Ayahuascero/Chemist/Yogi/Shaman from California, would be awesome to see him involved in the EGA he does online lectures and Q&A, very thorough and in depth scientifically/chemically and goes in depth spiritually incorporating holistic views and the kabbala and much more, He holds san pedro, ayahuasca and iboga ceremonies in many countries including Australia im pretty sure, incorporating all 3 plant medicines and has some profound discoveries to share and knowledge, hes leading a forefront of new discoveries and techniques, not sure how he would respond but maybe worth a shot? Ive had very cheerful email contact with him, top bloke. Dennis McKenna, Alex Grey would be amazing, bit of a longshot! Haha :D Check out Fabian anyway, very informative and quite profound!

Ajnadurga Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Fabian is the only person ive ever known of to separate ayahuasca into two parts, the Banisteriopsis brew drank first and then followed by the Psychotria mixture shortly after the maoi has taken effect, Very interesting, and to correct myself he wouldn't do ceremonies here as it would be illegal, must just be lectures ive heard him mention Australia and his spagyric tinctures he also uses san pedro and ayahuasca in the same day somehow safely?!?, He has found a way around the amphetamine being lethal due to the maoi, he has some profound discoveries of the combinations of mescaline, harmine/harmaline, dmt and ibogaine used in conjunction over a short period of time, 9 days I think his ceremonies usually span, Very interesting stuff.
