A really interesting old video that made me think... I haven't been following the SD community and its discoveries closely at all, so I would appreciate it if some of you that know more about it (looking at you, gibran2 and jamie :d ) could share your thoughts on something Terence mentions in this vid.
He says that according to the taxonomic and historical research data that was present during those days s. divinorum was actually a novel plant that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. The Mazatec Indians, who were the only ones blessed with this plant natively, said that it was "new" in justifying their lack of a name for it.
So what I'm wondering is if it really was new, or if later discoveries proved that it wasn't new and that it existed there for a long time, but was discovered only lately by those people. And if it was indeed new, how do we explain that?
Was it a "random" event resulting from the evolutionary wind shuffling the layers of the gene pool in such a way that it created a substance that is as marvelous and peculiar as salvinorin A? Or maybe it is one of many, many similar plants that we haven't yet discovered? Or maybe it was put there specifically by someone/something to serve a specific spiritual and metaphysical purpose? A key to open a door? Or a key to shut one?
Please share your thoughts and update me if necessary. Thank you for reading.![Love :love: :love:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
