I watched a special on World Link TV about the natives in mexico who did not civilize and contiued their cultures based around Peyote.
It turns out taht they can trace the use of peyote in central America back 60 to 80,000 years ago! (that predates the Alaskan land-bridge for all you keeping count, see Atlantis and Mu, both of which can be traced to over a thousand native oral traditions of history) The plant has taught people to survive these types of cyclical earth changes and always survive no matter what.
They interviewed one woman who was 88 years old. She ate peyote EVERY DAY and was healthy and as fit as ever. She was quite direct in her warning. She said that those who didn't respect Mescalito would perish, that they had to be taught how to survive, and that they would never learn unless they believe and trusted peyote to guide them.
Another person I have to mention is Carlos Casteneda. (Whom was my hero until his later days where his power and his students all become corupted by power and clairity) In the early books, Don Juan teaches Carlos about Peyote and several other Diviner palnts. But Peyote is NOT used for Divination, rather, it is used to learn, to gain wisdom. When you take Mescalito, Mescalito is really taking you .
Needless to say, sometime in the next 8 yrs I plan to become a member of the Native American Church.
If it is true that every chemical of every plant kills brain cells in order to recreate a place for its own synthesis, then each plant we have ever ingested in a pattern throughout time forms the structure of our evolved thinking brains. We evolved from what we are most addicted to, simply because we synthesize these best, they have been with us longest. BUT, this does not mean that these plants we have used the most over the last couple thousand years are best, they may in fact be much worse because of the rate that cultivation has overproduced them.
The ancient plants are the key to survival.
Plants that contain DXM, DMT, Mescaline, Salvia Divinorum, LSD, LSA, and the various mushrooms that, most likely, birthed our very consciousness.
Still. I think that I have learned the most from my good old friend, Herb. But drugs that allow us to cope with this civilization such as THC or opiates (not to mention the trecherous uppers, speeds and coke) are dangerous because of how efficiently they allow us to exist separate from nature. It is a moderate combination of hallucinagenics and a light does of these others that is best for a healthy brain.
If something does go wrong in 2012, seek out the Shamans and Druids, they will cope quite easily, living with nature and earth as God all along.
Peace guys, I gotta go build an earthship in New Zealand, lol! j/k.
Wow, that TV special surely sucked becase well, there was not a single mesoamerican tribe who didnt build a civiilzation, many of them used peyote, however it was a privilege for religious leaders as in most cultures, for obvious reasons people using mezcalline will have "premunitions" and weird experiences heh.
