Are Hallucinogenic Plants efficacious in Curing Diseases ?


Pages: 292 - 301

Abstract

The ethnobotanical, anthropological and ethnopharmacological literature has shown a strong relationship between hallucinogenic plants and medical efficacy. Despite evidence from previous studies, many issues have not been discussed clearly enough to enable acceptance of this relationship. This study uses a literature survey to track how different authors have dealt with the issue and what future research opportunities may emerge. Keywords: psychoactive; entheogen; medicinal plants; rituals.
