Amazon’s Green Gold
Biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical corporations, laboratories and university researchers are scouring the Amazon rainforest in a profit-driven pursuit. Seeking the Amazon’s “green gold,” they are turning to local indigenous groups to gain access to thousands of years of accumulated secret potions and traditional remedies. There is a race against time to explore for the potential “holy grail” for medicinal compounds, and to protect their discovery before others beat them to the patent office.

The Plant Kingdom and Hallucinogens
The use of hallucinogenic substances goes far back into human pre-history. There have been suggestions that even the idea of the deity might have arisen as a result of their weird and unearthly effects on the human body and mind. Narcotic and other drugs have been reported by many writers in many cultures, since the very invention of writing. A truly interdisciplinary scientific interest in narcotics, however, has developed only during the past century.
