In episode one (Peyote Territory) Bia and Martin trek through peyote’s natural habitat and discuss its unusual morphology, psychoactive nature, history of human interest, and Martin’s irrepressible zeal for all things cacti. Martin’s rigorously scientific understanding of peyote’s evolutionary context challenges the mystical assumptions often underpinning the role of its psychoactive properties.

Homespun video. Really like it. I have a little one.
Hay subtítulos en español disponible para nuestra audiencia de habla hispana!
Very happy and excited for this documentary!! Thank you to all who teach about conserving this beautiful entheogen Peyote!
Looking forward
I've been teaching/talking this story for decades!!! Every day is a new affirmation of what I believed in as a kid 40-50-60 years ago. The trees/plants KNOW>>!!!!!Thank you for affirming the reality of consciousness in all things!!!! Dgunde
Thank you for sharing! So awesome!
I gotta support the statement regarding the proclivity of humans to eat something because its bitter. I like mustard and turnip greens because they are bitter. He has a point.
Can’t wait!!
Super Informative!!
Great! Thanks, so needed!
Now grab episodes 2 and 3, the story continues in the excellent hands of Bia and Martin!
In the wildest environment, it's just one of the few plants without thorns and speaking in terms of medicine, is one of the few power plants that you can eat raw or without preparation 💚🙏
It absolutely wants us to have a relationship with it. It is the great teacher. But people need to learn to cultivate for themselves and others versus taking from the land. You need to earn not take and earning comes with patience, love and learning.
Loved it!!
I heavily agree with the conservation aspect of these plants, but when he said in the beginning that the “peyote didn’t anticipate the emergence of humans...” then shes says “peyote existed before we did?” And he then says “I’m pretty sure”.
It’s not odd that certain cactus(not only lophs) contain the alkaloid mescaline in which binds to our 5-htp receptors so smoothly. These plants are here for human use, no doubt about it.
Don’t forage them: Cultivate them from seed!
YESSS!
Wow. Help me understand how rather than asking Native Americans and Mexican Indigenous communities who have worked and developed a DEEP relationship with this Master Plant Teacher on a continuous basis for hundreds and thousands of years, you ask a person who does not value it as such? He has not worked with this plant extensively, he is not Native American, he cannot and should not be a voice for this medicine if he does not truly understand everything about this plant, which he absolutely does not. Sure, he brings value in his efforts to preserve the plant and encourages its cultivation and better harvesting. You had an amazing opportunity to elevate this Master Plant and its medicinal and life altering values and likewise the beauty of Indigenous communities and their ceremonies with this plant. This is yet another example of colonial thinking and suppression of Indigenous knowledge and communities.

Hay muchos cactus con la misma sustancia, por favor no ayudes a la extinción del peyote. Busca opciones.
Perfect example of colonialism of the 21st century .... A decolonial attempt would have the elders that carry the tradition and who have been fighting the US Government, not a white dude that took over the field (By the way I really appreciate the work of Shultz and Hoffman too) but we are in the 21st century and this is a colonial and racist represetnation ... ..... Saludos foro: Creo que si queremos proteger al Hikuri lo último que debemos hacer es ponerlo en las redes sociales, esto solo muestra como Chacruna es una agente colonialista y capitalista que se está robando el conocimiento antiguo mientras los nativos pelean por su vida los blancos les roban y escriben libros.... y en este caso hacen reportajes que solo sirven para comercializar más el peyote ... lo más grave es que la revolución indígena empezó en México en 1994 y aquí en el norte desde los enfrentamiento de Wounded Knee y no ha terminado la lucha. Lo que me molesta es que mientras la gente pelea por sus tierras y sus derechos, los académicos se apropian y se se roban el conocimiento y se la dan de expertos.
This so called Dr Martin would have been the last person I’d chosen to help with this project.. he doesn’t seem to have a understanding of the bond between the plants & it’s people. I doubt he’s ever ate any & his idea that the plants reason for being is just to be & no other purpose. Everything in the universe has a purpose.
This is a perfect example of the way colonial knowledge is produced and how white people appropriate the ancient knowledge
