There's more than one way to heal, there's more than one way to interact with these substances in productive ways. I think we should be careful of our sensationalism of indigenous cultures because the bias appeal to antiquity is something that I come across very often. Just because a tradition is effective for the people from that culture doesn't make the approach ubiquitously better, just longer lasting, which has many variables attached. While I do feel that in many aspects of western culture there is a one and done attitude such as the "once you get the message, hang up the phone," rhetoric, I don't think that we should abandon ourselves in favor of someone or something that has been doing it longer as if that's better. That works for them. We have to find what works for us.

One love
