"This book offers a comprehensive view of the legal, political, and ethical challenges related to the global regulation of ayahuasca, bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars. Ayahuasca is a psychoactive brew containing DMT, which is a Schedule I substance under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the legality of its ritual use has been interpreted differently throughout the world. The chapters in this volume reflect on the complex implications of the international expansion of ayahuasca, from health, spirituality, and human rights impacts on individuals, to legal and policy impacts on national governments. While freedom of religion is generally protected, this protection depends on the recognition of a religion's legitimacy, and whether particular practices may be deemed a threat to public health, safety or morality. Through acomparative analysis of different contexts in North America, South America and Europe in which ayahuasca is consumed, the book investigates the conceptual, philosophical, and legal distinctions among the fields of shamanism, religion, and medicine. It will be particularly relevant to scholars with an interest in Indigenous religion and in religion and law"--

This book is a collection of studies of drug policies in several Latin American countries. The chapters analyze the specific histories of drug policies in each country, as well as related phenomena and case studies throughout the region. It presents conceptual reflections on the origins of prohibition and the "War on Drugs," including the topic of human rights and cognitive freedom. Further, the collection reflects on the pioneering role of some Latin American countries in changing paradigms of international drug policy. Each case study provides an analysis of where each state is now in terms of policy reform within the context of its history and current socio-political circumstances. Concurrently, local movements, initiatives, and backlash against the reformist debate within the hemisphere are examined. The recent changes regarding the regulation of marijuana in the United States and their possible impact on Latin America are also addressed. This work is an important, up-to-date and well-researched reference for all who are interested in drug policy from a Latin American perspective

Desde a metade da última década, em grandes cidades do Brasil, começou a se difundir o uso da secreção da rã Phyllomedusa bicolor. Tradicionalmente usada como revigorante e estimulante para caça por grupos indígenas do sudoeste amazônico (entre eles, Katukina, Yawanawá e Kaxinawá), tem havido um duplo interesse pelo kambô nos centros urbanos: como um "remédio da ciência" – no qual se exaltam suas propriedades bioquímicas – e como um "remédio da alma" – onde o que mais se valoriza é sua "origem indígena". A difusão urbana do kambô tem-se dado, sobretudo, em clínicas de terapias alternativas e no ambiente das religiões ayahuasqueiras brasileiras. Os aplicadores são bastante diversos entre si: índios, ex-seringueiros, terapeutas holísticos e médicos. Neste artigo apresentamos uma etnografia da difusão do kambô, analisando sobretudo o discurso que esses diversos aplicadores têm elaborado sobre o uso da secreção, compreendida por alguns como uma espécie de 'planta de poder', análoga ao peiote e a ayahuasca.
