What is Chacruna.net?

Chacruna.net is a hub for producing and disseminating high-quality multimedia content about plant medicines and psychedelics, facilitating access to these resources online. The website’s central objective is to offer content created and curated by leading experts on the field, edited to a wider audience. The field of psychedelics is filled with misinformation, anecdotal narratives, and poorly trained professionals and enthusiasts with no field experience leading discussions with large audiences of novices to the subject. Our strategy utilizes Bia Labate’s extensive network of contacts, extending from Latin America to Europe and the US, including researchers from many universities, as well as pop culture references and indigenous voices. We aim to promote indigenous cultures connected to the use of sacred plants by sharing websites, blogs, and other resources. Brazil has a particularly active indigenous film and photographic production community. There is much to publicize on this front, and it is important to call attention to the critical fact that plant medicine knowledge owes a huge debt to these native cultures. Psychedelics are extremely powerful substances, and we believe they must be approached with care and intelligence. Chacruna is directed by Ph.D. researchers with hundreds of academic papers and well over 20 books published from such houses as Routledge and Oxford University Press.
