Well, not sure i agree with you on this one Mqurice.....

for a number of reasons.

first i offer once again verse from the Wisdom of Sirach (chapter 38)

38:4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them. 38:5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?

38:6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works.

38:7 With such doth he heal men, and taketh away their pains.

38:8 Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,

ayahuasca is a brew made from combining two different plants. it is unknown exactly how the natives figured out how the two together would work -- unless you accept their explanation: "the forest told them."

many people have testified to having life altering (for the better) experiences.

regarding entheogens Kary Mullis had this to say:

Mullis details his experiences synthesizing and testing various psychedelic amphetamines and a difficult trip on DET in his autobiography. In a Q&A interview published in the September, 1994, issue of California Monthly, Mullis said, "Back in the 1960s and early '70s I took plenty of LSD. A lot of people were doing that in Berkeley back then. And I found it to be a mind-opening experience. It was certainly much more important than any courses I ever took." [28] During a symposium held for centenarian Albert Hofmann, "Hofmann revealed that he was told by Nobel-prize-winning chemist Kary Mullis that LSD had helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences." [29] Replying to his own postulate during an interview for BBC's Psychedelic Science documentary, "What if I had not taken LSD ever; would I have still invented PCR?" He replied, "I don't know. I doubt it. I seriously doubt it." [30]
