International Legal Aspects of the Use of Ayahuasca.

Abstract

The Convention on psychotropic substances itself, offers wide opportunity for the use of natural materials, plants or animals, which by nature contain hallucinogenics. When a safe social setting is guaranteed, or risk for public health is otherwise minimized, limitations by the government on the use of hallucinogenics should be defined as contrary to constitutional rights, such as freedom of conscience, self-determination, the free development of the personality and respect for one's private life.
