Stoffer som påvirker bevisstheten (hvordan vi opplever verden) kalles ofte psykedeliske. Ordet hallisunogen brukes også. En hallisunasjon er en mental forestilling om verden som ikke nødvendigvis stemmer med virkeligheten.
Mest kjente psykedeliske stoffet er LSD. Mye brukt på 70 tallet. Blant annet av Jimmi Hendrix og andre musikere. De siste årene er psykedeliske stoffer tilbake fordi det viser seg at de har traumehelbredende egenskaper. For PTSD, og muligens også for barndomstraumer. Jeg har ikke forsøkt psykedeliske stoffer selv men ser det som en fremtidig mulighet. Naturlige alternativer med liknende effekt er mørkeromsterapi og meditasjon.
Psilocybin
Just One Dose of Magic Mushroom Compound Regrows Lost Brain Connections in Mice.
Psilocybin, the active psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms, has some curious effects on the human brain. There’s the obvious, of course – hallucinations – but of increasing interest to scientists is its potential effectiveness as an antidepressant.

Oppdatering 5. juli 2023. Three benefits of iboga you have not heard about. Iboga has the effect of temporarily “shattering the ego”, allowing individuals to let go of their petty problems and gain insight on the interconnectedness of the world around them. Ibogas effects often cause the user to experience past memories in vivid detail, which users describe as akin to being transported into the past. This experience is generally followed by a reflective period, where the user can gain intellectual insight into the causes and effects of trauma. There is anecdotal evidence of Iboga being quite helpful in the treatment of fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. All three of these diseases attack the central nervous system, and Iboga’s interactions with cells and receptors in the brain have been theorized to trigger the body to heal itself.
Ayahuasca
Håkon Svendsen på Elefantenirommetpodcast episode 18 snakker om Ayahuasca.
Wikipedia. Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive and entheogenic brewed drink traditionally used both socially and as a ceremonial or shamanic spiritual medicine among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin, and more recently in Western society. The tea causes altered states of consciousness often known as “psychedelic experiences” which include visual hallucinations and altered perceptions of reality.

We are specialists in shamanic treatment under the guidance of master healer and ayahuasquero Ricardo Amaringo. We are an integrative healing center also providing training in Amazonian shamanism and opportunities for visionary art. The center is named after a Shipibo master plant called Nihue Rao, because it is located near a large grove of these medicinal trees. “Nihue Rao“ can be literally translated as the medicinal plant of the air. Nihue Rao Center Espiritual is the ayahuasca healing center owned by the master healer Ricardo Amaringo, co-founded with Dr. Joe Tafur, familiy physician and the visionary artist Cvita Mamic.

Tobakk
Oppdatering 17. april 2023. Jeg hører på to interessante summiter denne uken. Shift psychic and intuitive abilities summit og Maya Shetreat. The master plant experience. På Shift summiten var det et intervju med Andes shamanen Puma Fredy Quispe Singona. Så interessant å høre om et mange tusen års system som er helt forskjellig fra vårt. Han nevnte også tobakk. På Maya summiten var det et intervju med Alex og Allyson Gray. De har lang erfaring med psykedeliske stoffer. Begge er kunstnere. De nevnte tobakk som et hellig (sacred) plante for shamaner.
Magical, mystical and medicinal. Tobacco, shamans and smokers. Since prehistory, tobacco has been chewed, smoked or taken as snuff, infusions or enemas. Residues have been extracted from smoking pipes and from human teeth and hair recovered in archaeological research. Considered a sacred plant, tobacco was part of ritual and religious ceremonies and offerings, often mixed with other species such as thorn apple or ayahuasca to enhance its hallucinogenic effects. Nowadays it is still used by shamans and healers, who smoke large amounts of tobacco after long periods of fasting, which causes them to hallucinate, reducing the heart rate and sometimes leading to a catatonic state.
Jeg har aldri vært noen røyker. Jeg forsøkte en uke eller to rundt 2004 men det var bare ikke for meg. I ett års tid på den tiden snuset jeg. Men fant ut at det var heller ikke for meg. Kunne tenke meg å forsøke nå som et bevissthetsutvidende eksperiment. Det blir isåfall med økologisk tobakk uten kjemikalier. Forretningen Sol Cigar i Oslo skriver på sine nettsider: Tobakkene og sigarettene fra Manitou består utelukkende av 100% ren virginiatobakk, helt uten tilsetningsstoffer av noe slag. Virginia Green: Laget av 100% økologisk sertifisert tobakk.
Plasencia har en sigar som er økologisk. Reserva Organica som nå har byttet navn til Reserva Original. Liten pakke fra Danpipe i Tyskland. De har den også på Cigarrummet i Stockholm. Jeg hørte med de. Plasencia Reserva Original are organic tobacco! Den finns i många storlekar bland annat Robusto, som är omåttligt populärt format. Den kan kjøpes enkeltvis. Ikke å få på Sol Cigar.
Email fra Plasencia. Hi P, Thank you for your message. The Plasencia Reserva Original you sent us in the link, is the same Plasencia Reserva Organica you mentioned. We changed the word because in the European Union was not allowed to use the word “Organic” with tobacco, anymore, so we changed the word and we created this new packaging you see in our webpage and the cigars are exactly the same: made with 100% organic tobacco, certified by OCIA. I hope you enjoy this weekend with one of the Plasencia Reserva Original; I recommend you the vitola: “Cortés” 5 ¾ x 56. Kind regards, Plasencia1865.
Det er ikke så vanskelig å dyrke tobakk hjemme. Det er en hardfør plante.
Oppdatering 8. juli 2023. Istedenfor å røyke tobakk kan man sikkert innta den som mat. Muligens i en matrett med flere ingredienser. Som i en hasjkake. Idag hørte jeg også at noen bruker tobakk i fotbad. Det er etterhvert kjent at røykere får mindre covid19 symptomer enn ikkerøykere. Dette er ikke intuitivt fordi det er også kjent at de med sterk helse greier seg bedre og røykere er ikke i den kategorien. Årsaken er at spike proteinet binder seg til cellenes nicotine receptor. Med nikotin innabords får spike konkurranse. Flere har erfart at får man sterke covid19 symptomer kan det rett og slett hjelpe å ta seg en sigg.
Jeg forsøkte å lage havregrynsgrøt med økologisk tobakk i. Det ga en rus tilsvarende en sigarett men mer langvarig. Det tok omtrent 10 minutter fra jeg spiste grøten til rusen kom. Jeg ble også ganske kvalm men spydde ikke.

Mapacho has been grown for 8000 years and it was one of the first cultivated plants in its homeland in Andes mountains in South America, then Europeans started to spread it all over the world.
Tobacco Is the Chief Medicinal Plant in My Work. Therapeutic Uses of Tobacco in Peruvian Amazonian Medicine Exemplified by the Work of a Maestro Tabaquero.
Shamanic rapé tobacco. Rapé (pronounced “ha-peh” or “rapay”) is sacred shamanic snuff medicine. It contains Nicotiana Rustica, a type of tobacco also known as mapacho. It’s different from the tobacco used in cigarettes, which is Nicotiana Tabacum. It is usually made of tobacco powder and various Amazonian medicinal plants, trees, leaves, seeds, and other sacred ingredients that are ground into a fine, aromatic powder. Rapé is a rare and profoundly healing and cleansing miracle medicine that has been used since ancient times. Rapé is traditionally blown through each nostril on both sides using a pipe made from bamboo or bone. It can be self-administered using a V-shaped self-applicator pipe (Kuripe) that connects the mouth to the nostrils. More often, though, Rapé is administered by another person using a blow pipe (Tepi) that connects the blower’s mouth to the other person’s nostrils.

Kaktusen San Pedro Echinopsis Pachanoi
Oppdatering 17. april 2023. En kaktus som vokser naturlig i Andesfjellene. Har en mild halusogenisk virkning. Den er lovlig å dyrke som prydplante. Men ikke lovlig å innta. Kaktusen kalles Huachuma i Peru. Huachumacollective. De er også på substack og på facebook. The San Pedro cactus refers to one distinct species, Echinopsis pachanoi. Et annet navn for San Pedro er wachuma.
These cacti are easy to grow, meaning you can plant your own and cut pieces off every now and then. They’re also easy to cut up and blend into a psychedelic smoothie, once you remove the spines and core, of course. Mescaline induces a mental state that many users find pleasant and manageable, though as with any psychedelic, those results can vary greatly depending on your physical setting and psychological state. As with many of the drugs on this list, side effects include nausea and potential vomiting.
Cannabis
Oppdatering 17. april 2023. Jeg har tidligere et par poster om cannabis. De endocannabinoide systemet og om cannabis lovgivningen i Norgen. Idag leste jeg om legemiddelfirmaet Eli Lilly og grunnleggeren med samme navn. Han gikk på USAs første farmasiskole Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
Cannabis ble forbudt i USA i 1937. Før dette var Eli Lilly en storprodusent av cannabis baserte legemidler. Firmaet eide to store cannabisgårder i USA. Idag ønsker ikke firmaet å snakke om denne fortiden. En liten aksjeeier Fred Pfenninger, advokat i Pfenninger and Associates, ville det motsatt. Etter å ha lest forskningen endte han som cannabis aktivist. Han krevde at firmaet skulle snakke om sin fortid samt påvirke lovgiviningen i Indiana for å få legalisert cannabis også der. Forsøket endte med et shareholder proposal brev fra Eli Lilly til offentlige myndigheter. Her står det blant annet:
Eli Lilly was the Third President of Lilly from 1932 to 1948, graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1907 and wrote his Doctoral Thesis on The Comparative Physiological Effects of Several Varieties of Cannabis Sativa. Lilly was a world leader in cannabis based pharmaceutical products in the early 1900s. Lilly sold 23 different cannabis entries in its medical catalog in 1935 before the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act and Reefer Madness halted sales. Parke Davis worked with Lilly to create its own strain Cannabis Americana which Lilly grew in Greenfield, Indiana.
Federal prohibitions outlawing cannabis recreational, industrial and therapeutic use were first imposed by Congress under the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 and later reaffirmed by federal lawmakers decision to “temporarily” classify marijuana as well as the plants organic compounds known as cannabinoids as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. This classification, which categorizes the plant by statute alongside heroin, defines cannabis and its cannabinoids as possessing a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug.
Despite the US Government’s nearly century long prohibition of the plant, cannabis is one of the most investigated therapeutically active substances in history. To date there are approximately 22,000 published studies or reviews in the scientific literature referencing the cannabis plant and its cannabinoids, nearly half of which were published within 10 years according to a key work search on the search engine PubMed Central. The late 1980s discovery of the endogenous cannabinoid system, with specific receptors and ligands, has progressed our understanding of the therapeutic actions of cannabis. The cannabinoid system evolved with our species and is intricately involved in normal physiology: control of movement, pain, reproduction, memory, appetite. Cannabis oil kills cancer, prevents and reverses dementia, prevents epileptic seizures, and extends longevity among other things. Cannabis is the most medicinal plant on the planet.
Mange har medisinsk stort utbytte av cannabis. Blant annet for gikt (artrose, arthrisis). Menneskene har reseptorer for cannabis stoffene innebygget så vi er tilpasset stoffet. At cannabis er forbudt er ikke bra og opprinnelig et grep fra farmasi industrien for å slippe konkurranse.
Indianapolis Monthly, Adam Wren, 19. march 2019. Eli Lillys hazy memory.
In 1850, the United States Pharmacopeia, the nation’s official drug-reference manual, listed cannabis as a legitimate treatment for a wide range of ailments. The United States Dispensatory, another reference book, advised doctors that it could serve as a medicine to “cause sleep, to allay spasm, to compose nervous disquietude, and to relieve pain.” It was a useful treatment for “gout, rheumatism, tetanus, hydrophobia, epidemic cholera, convulsions, chorea, hysteria, mental depression, delirium, tremens, insanity and uterine hemorrhage.” For decades, doctors prescribed it liberally.
One of Lilly’s most celebrated executives clearly had an interest in the subject. In 1907, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (the nation’s first pharmacy school) approved a doctoral thesis titled The Comparative Physiological Effects of Several Varieties of Cannabis Sativa. It tested five different strains of American cannabis against cannabis indica, which at the time was much more powerful. The student was none other than Eli Lilly, the grandson of Col. Eli Lilly, who went on to become the company’s third CEO.
In his quest to reveal Lilly’s history with cannabis, Pfenninger attempted to track down a copy of that document several times dating back nearly a decade. An official at the college told him the thesis had been lost during a succession of three moves over the institution’s 200-year history. Recently, however, it turned up: An archives assistant at the J.W. England Library on campus found a photocopy. According to Andrew Peterson, a professor of clinical pharmacy at the college, it revealed groundbreaking research. “[Eli] was looking at it from a global perspective,” Peterson says. “It was cutting edge.” Saint Josephs University Libraries, J. W. England Library.

Hemp
Hva er forskjellen på hemp og cannabis? Hemp and cannabis are derived from the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa. They are both grown for different purposes and exhibit a lot of different characteristics. Put simply, hemp is the name given to strains of cannabis plant with extremely low levels of the psychoactive compound THC, making the versatile plant viable to use in dozens of different industries. Cannabis or marijuana on the other hand is typically grown for the high.
Les ovenfor om farmasiselskapet Eli Lilly som brått sluttet med cannabis. Nedenfor er sakset fra en fb post og forklarer muligens årsaken.
fb 20230830. The year is 1914. Years of World War I and farmers who grew “cannabis” in exchange for US dollars. Keep this in mind and keep reading. Industrial hemp is not just an agricultural plant. It is an antidote for oil and the dollar. HOW IS IT PROHIBITED?
- One hectare of cannabis produces oxygen like 25 hectares of forest.
- Again, one hectare of hemp can produce the same amount of paper as 4 hectares of trees.
- While hemp can be turned into paper 8 times, wood can be turned into a paper 3 times.
- Hemp grows in 4 months, tree in 20-50 years.
- Cannabis is a real radiation trap.
- Cannabis can be grown anywhere in the world and it needs very little water. Also, since he can keep insects away, he doesn’t need pesticides.
- If hemp textiles become generalized, the pesticide industry could disappear completely.
- The first jeans were made from hemp; even the word “CANVAS” is the name Cannabis products got. Hemp is also an ideal plant for producing ropes, shoelaces, handbags, shoes and hats.
- Reduces the effects of chemotherapy and radiation in the treatment of cannabis, AIDS, and cancer; used in at least 250 diseases such as rheumatism, heart, epilepsy, asthma, stomach, insomnia, psychology and spinal stiffness.
- The protein value of hemp seeds is very high, and the two fatty acids they contain are nowhere else in nature.
- Hemp production is even cheaper than soy.
- Animals that eat cannabis do not need hormone additives.
- All plastic products can be produced from hemp, and hemp plastic is very easy to return to nature.
- If the car body is made of hemp, it will be 10 times stronger than steel.
- It can also be used for building insulation; it’s durable, cheap and flexible.
- Soaps and cosmetics made from hemp do not contaminate water, so they are completely environmentally friendly.
In America at 18. century, its production was obligatory, and the farmers who did not produce were closed. But now the situation has turned upside down. FROM WHERE?
- V. R. Hurst owned newspapers, magazines and media in the United States in the 1900s. They had forests and produced paper. If paper was made of hemp, he could have lost millions.
- Rockefeller was the richest man in the world. He was the owner of an oil company. Biofuel, cannabis oil, was, of course, his biggest enemy.
- Melon was one of the leading shareholders of Dupont company and had a patent for producing plastic from oil derivatives. And the cannabis industry has endangered its market.
Melon later became President Hoover’s finance minister. These big names in their meetings decided that Cannabis is the enemy and removed it. Through the media, they have engraved marijuana in people’s brains as a poison, along with the word marijuana. Cannabis drugs have been removed from the market, replacing with the chemical drugs used today. Forests are cut to produce paper. Plague poisoning and cancer are on the rise. And then we fill our world with plastic waste, harmful waste.
Krydder og dopamin precursors
Oppdatering 23. april 2023. Idag hørte jeg foredrag med Jeffrey Bland på The Master Plant Experience med Maya Shetreat. Jeffrey Bland er the grand old man innen naturlig helse og grunnla Bastyr University. Først i intervjuet ble det nevnt at han for tiden har et prosjekt for å fremme det naturlige immunsystemet, kalt Big Bold Health.
I intervjuet nevnte han en rekke krydder som kan påvirke hjernen og en bevissthet: “Influence perception and space-time continuum. Modulating neurochemistry to alter your sense of reality.” Disse var: vanilla, blackpeppers, cacao, chillipeppers, cloves (nellik), saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric.
Han nevnte precursors for serotonin og dopamin systemene: Serotonergic system, tryptophan is precursor. Dopaminergic system, tyrosine and theanine are precursors. De nevnte også endocannabinoid system.
Han snakket om at cacao inneholder psykedeliske stoffer som også finnes i cannabis. Inneholder enoliolethanolamin, agonist prp b1 receptor endogenous cannabinoid system. Jeg googlet dette men fant det ikke.
Han nevnte boken The Song of the Cell av Siddhartha Mukherjee. De snakket om microdosing med psychedelics og at dette kan helbrede barndomstraumer. De snakket om blomsten Hops (kløver) og at kløver er enten hankjønn eller hunkjønn. Og muligens psykedelisk. De snakket kort om fasting tilslutt. Myrcene is an abundant monoterpene which occurs as a major constituent in many plant species, including hops and cannabis.
Cacao og cacaw

The Mayan Wisdom Project. Cacao is a sacred plant that has been used by the Mayans for millennia to create healing, well-being, and support in the community. Our goal is to make the teachings of this medicine available, while giving the floor back to its authentic teachers. Shop ceremonial cacao.
What spices to add? Instructor, The Mayan Wisdom Project. I would say: cinnamon (kanel), cayenne, ginger (ingefær) and cardamon. I wouldn’t say they are all added together however. More, one or the other.
PS: So far I have added black pepper. Is it recommended to add cacaw to ones hot morning coffee? Do cacaw and coffee go well together? Instructor: Hello, traditionally, cacao and coffee have not been combined and it is not recommended to add them together according to the Maya. PS: I did just that yesterday morning. And it did not work so well. It felt like a stone in my belly for several hours. Strange. Good to know you and the Mayans know better. Lots for me to learn here.

Witoto people Columbia
Oppdatering 11. juni 2023. Witoto (Fitita, Guitoto, Hitote, Huitata, Huito, Huitoto, Murui Huitoto). The Witotoan groups, now composed of around 8,500 individuals, live along the middle courses of the Caquetá and the Putumayo rivers, in the Amazon region of Colombia. There are also some in adjoining areas of Peru and Brazil. Approximately 4,500 to 5,300 Witoto, referred to as the “Witoto proper,” speak the Witoto language.
A Witoto origin myth tells how the “talking pole” of the primal tree was invaded by Worms sent by the “People of the Mouth of the River.” The Worms mocked and defied the “People of the Center” and sent them sicknesses until the People of the Center became angry, and a great war ensued. With the help of Thunder and Lightning, the People of the Center won the war and from that time established the cultural pattern that distinguishes the Witotoan groups.
For the Witoto, the yearly round of economic activities is closely linked to ceremonial events. Dozens of different rituals are enacted every year to regulate the relationships of humans with their environment and with one another. The purpose of ritual dancing is to promote growth and reproduction and ward off sickness and death. The Dance of the Chontaduro is held in December to provide good fishing and a bountiful harvest. This ceremony, which lasts several days, brings together up to 100 people to form or reaffirm alliances and exchange information.
Witoto shamans carefully observe plants and animals to instruct people how properly to collect and consume them. An important part of shamanic curing is prescribing appropriate behavior, but shamans may be held responsible for deaths, which are always considered to have supernatural causes. The accused shaman, however, is usually from another group.
Telegraph 10. juni 2023. The remains of the Cessna light aircraft were found two weeks later, with the bodies of three adults still inside. But there was no sign of the children, who come from the Huitoto Indigenous community. A long search through the virgin, inhospitable forest began.

Rød fluesopp Amanita Muscaria
Oppdatering 8. juli 2023. Den soppen man ser mest av om høsten, ihvertfall her jeg bor, er sannsynligvis rød fluesopp, aka Amanita Muscaria. Til nå har jeg tenkt på den som giftig. Samtidig som jeg har kjent til vikingenes bruk av fluesopp for å gå berserk (?) osv. Viser seg at rød fluesopp sannsynligvis ikke er så giftig og kan tilogmed fremkalle psykedeliske opplevelser. Jeg har altså ikke testet dette selv foreløpig. Men til høsten så kanskje.
Amanita muscaria mushrooms, commonly known as fly agaric mushrooms, have a long history of human use in Europe, Asia, and North America. Often classified as poisonous, fly agaric mushrooms are safe in low doses, especially if they’re dried thoroughly. Like other psychedelics, effects include visual hallucinations and altered perception, as well as a huge range of mental effects that depend on the user. Negative side effects can include nausea, cramps, and delirium at high doses. They’re legal in most places, and they even grow in the U.S., but if you plan on foraging them in the wild, make sure you consult a field guide and bring someone who knows what they’re doing.
snl store norske leksikon. Fluesopp er en slekt i gruppen skivesopper. Mange fluesopper er giftige. Grønn fluesopp (Amanita phalloides) og hvit fluesopp er dødelige. Rød fluesopp (Amanita muscaria) er mindre giftige, men dødsfall kan inntreffe hos barn og svekkede personer. Giftene er vesentlig nervegifter, til dels med hallusinogene virkninger. Andre forgiftningssymptomer er mage-tarmbesvær (kvalme, diaré og oppkast). Forgiftningssymptomene inntreffer her raskt, oftest etter ½–2 timer. Giften muskarin, som første gang ble isolert fra rød fluesopp, finnes bare i ubetydelige mengder her. Hovedgiftene er de atropinlignende, psykoaktive stoffene ibotensyre, muskimol og muskazon. Forgiftning av disse fluesoppartene behandles med tømming av magesekken, tilførsel av aktivt kull og forbindelser som hindrer virkningen av nervegiftene.
Mad Honey
Har skrevet om Mad honey i et tidligere blogginnlegg.
Mad honey is made by bees that feed on rhododendron flowers, which give it its psychoactive effects. Rhododendrons, evergreen flowering plants that grow in temperate, mountainous areas around the world, contain chemicals called grayanotoxins.
These neurotoxic compounds are cyclic diterpenes that exist in varying concentrations and varieties, depending on the particular rhododendron species and the time of year. Scientists have identified more than 25 types of grayanotoxins in rhododendrons. These chemicals make their way into the honey of bees that are feeding primarily on rhododendrons during the late spring, when so many of the plants are flowering that the bees can feast solely on rhododendron flowers without foraging elsewhere. In fact, some Turkish beekeepers even place their bee hives near rhododendron groves so that the bees will forage there, according to Modern Farmer.
It’s not just intoxication that people seek from it, though. As stated before, many people claim that mad honey offers relief from arthritis and helps enhance sexual performance. Like many traditional medicines, there isn’t a wealth of experimental data or clinical trials to back up these claims, but in recent years there is some evidence to suggest that they’re not too farfetched.
Rhododendron
Mad Honey får sin psykedeliske virkning indirekte via bier som spiser rododendron blomster. Kan man eksempelvis røyke rhododendron blomster og få en psykedelisk virkning? Uklart om det skrives rhododendron eller rododendron. Jeg kjøpte en slik på et hagesenter ifjor til halv pris som jeg plantet ut i hagen. Kanskje blir det blomster iår?

Oppdatering 15. juli 2023. En lang vannfaste, 3 uker eller mer, er ofte en bevissthetsendrende erfaring. Jeg har så langt gjennomført 5 lange vannfaster. Den lengste nå i våres på 40 dager. Spesielt en lang vannfaste på 36 dager for noen år siden førte til at jeg så problemstillinger i livet mitt i et nytt lys og rett og slett endret oppfatning om ting. Et eksempel var at negative følelser mot personer som hadde behandlet meg dårlig ble erstattet med tilgivelse og en oppfatning om at beste alternativ er å legge ting bak seg. Når dette skrives er det flere år siden denne vannfasten. Men denne endringen i å se verden på har holdt seg. Og det var et meget verdifult utbytte. Det er flere innlegg på denne bloggen om vannfaste.
