The topic of this episode of The Nature of Things will be Ayahuasca, the Amazonian brew used by natives during their religious, medical and spiritual ceremonies for visions and healing. The lecture that I will present at uOttawa will be on the evolution of psychoactive chemicals in plants and a look at the use of Ayahuasca for entheogenic and psycho-therapeutic purposes.
