In clinical literature, psilocybin, DMT, and MDMA receive a great deal of attention, but, as Ana Camacho shows, the same is not true for the peyote cactus and mescaline.

Last week, Chacruna brought to light the Drug Enforcement Agency's 2020 report on ayahuasca and its risks to health and safety. In the report, the DEA overestimates the risks of ayahuasca and underestimates its therapeutic potential.

On February 13, 2023, the DEA released a single document to the legal team representing the Church of the Eagle and the Condor (“CEC”). This risk assessment document concludes that ayahuasca is a risk to public health and safety and conflates dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) with ayahuasca.
