The Hoasca Project : Current Status


Pages: 4 - 5

Abstract

Regular readers of the MAPS Newsletter are already aware of the Hoasca Project, a multidisciplinary effort to investigate the human pharmacology of Hoasca, a botanically-derived psychedelic beverage which is utilized as a sacrament in ritual practices of the Uniao do Vegetal (UDV), a Brazilian syncretic religious movement. The back-ground and rationale for the proposed research was reported in the MAPS newsletter for Summer 1992 (Vol 3 no 3), and an update on the status of the research as of the end of 1993 was presented in the MAPS newsletter for Spring 1994 (Vol 4, no 4)
