| Video Discription | Supporting Entheogenesis Australis Psychedelic Symposium Australia, 2014 More info: http://www.entheogenesis.org Bia Labate: http://www.bialabate.net The secretion from the frog Phyllomedusa bicolor, known in Portuguese as kambô, has traditionally been used as a stimulant and an invigorating agent for hunting by indigenous groups in the southeast Amazon, such as the Katukina, Yawanawá and the Kaxinawá. Since the mid 90s, its use has expanded to large cities in Brazil and, since the late 2000s, abroad to Europe and the US. The urban diffusion of the use of kambo has taken place via healing clinics that offer alternative therapies, by way of members of the Brazilian ayahuasca religions and through trips, mainly by Amazonian rubber tappers, the Katukina and the Kawinawa Indians. This presentation provides an overview of the history, classification, and indigenous uses and modes of application of kambo. It then focuses on urban reinventions—such as an idea that kambo is a kind of “teacher plant” analogous to peyote or ayahuasca—and the controversies that have followed. These include disputes over the origin of and monopoly of this knowledge, patents, marketing, possible forms of state regulation, and even reports of deaths. Finally, the aftermath in the Amazon is contemplated; for example, the transformation of kambo into the Katukina’s ethnic symbol. Kambo’s ambiguous status as poison, remedy, and drug makes it a good test case to ponder the role of set and setting in drug use, as well as our biomedical and legal classifications of “drugs.” [zkQ_J0f8rqE] |
