'Century of Lies' – Ayahuasca & drug tourism.

http://www.drugtruth.net/007DTNaudio/COL_120407.mp3

For anybody interested, I’d like to recommend the above podcast (30 minutes audio) from the Drug Truth Network (http://www.drugtruth.net/) produced by Dean Becker.

This particular podcast covers drug prohibition, Ayahuasca (interviews with Dennis McKenna) and covers so-called Ayahuasca 'drug tourism'.

'Century of Lies' and 'Cultural Baggage' are podcasts broadcast weekly from the studios of KPFT-FM in Houston, Texas, and produced by Dean Becker with a view to end this War on Drugs. Dean Becker is someone I have the highest regard for, he is a person of shining integrity and in my mind a true hero in this continuing struggle for a more compassionate sane society.

As a suggestion for a possible C-Realm interview, it would be wonderful to hear KMO interview Dean Becker on the evils of this so-called War on Drugs. OK, 'evil' is a word I imagine most people on this forum might have difficulties with, but if you consider the millions of lives snuff-out by this war, then I think you might let it stand -- millions of lives snuff-out not by killing, but by having their life potentials destroyed or drastically curtailed by needless criminalisation and vindictive imprisonment.

With Blessings. :)

Hi Veeg,

I haven't listened to this yet, but I've added the link to the show notes for this episode on LiveJournal. Thank you.

Hi Veeg,

Well, I've heard that Hundred Years of Lies program now, and I enjoyed listening to it. I think it would make a nice companion to the C-Realm episode that featured Marlene Dobkin de Rios. There are legitimate concerns to raise around the topic of the effect of ayahuasca tourism, and the drug truth network podcast you linked to addressed them more sensibly and sensitively than did Marlene Dobkin de Rios.

Thank you for the tip.

Stay well.
