One of the most enlightening experiences I've ever had... attending a Native American Church ceremony as a non-indigenous guest. What a blessing!

[tomthebomb]

Words cannot describe how it feels for the spirit to connect with this land ❤

[mikerufo]

I had peyote at least on three occasions in my life back in the 1970s it was very healing

[dzrtdwlr]

The fuzzy little cactus connected me to the desert; and all that connected to the universe. Blessed Be

[Polytecamerican]

He gave the most beautiful and realistic explanation of how psychedelics can be used as a tool!

[johnnycarter]

Mushrooms containing psilocybin saved my life. They aided my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would’ve become medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.

[Dan-iyjl]

Thanks PBS/Nova! Very enlightening and impeccably presented video about a fascinating cactus. My favorite.

[powwowcritic]

My brother Simon healed my bad arthritis with this plant, he took the tea and blew it on my joints in 2004, i was able to come back and dance again, I started to be a champion again from 2004- 2019 now my brother lost the way now im going crippled again.

[lauramaria]

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

[meetontheledge]

The beautiful garments made with such painstaking love and attention says so much about this path of liberation!

[JonnoPlays]

Legalize it, don't criticize it.

[Jerryberger]

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here

[montanalivin]

Its on my bucket list, just wish we had a sustainable source. I would never go harvest in the wild unless given permission from those who protect it.

[LamiNalchor]

Native Americans have often been persecuted for Peyote use - IN THE PAST! Thanks for getting this right.

[LoriCurl]

I have tried psychedelics and loved then in my youth, but it was uncontrolled, so I stopped. Now I am 60, and if this and other drugs like this can help pain and other things, I am in 100%! No one wants to help anymore, but maybe these researchers can start the discussion. So HURRY UP!! I am waiting!!😁

[danielcarrick]

Why doesn't it surprise me that religious people (christians) frowned on indigenous people's use of it. Bless these Native's, most Sacred Father Creator of All.

[presidentcamacho]

Psychedelics help remind us that our time on Earth is short, enjoy the ride.

[willmays]

Seems like respectful people, speaking the truth

[stephenalishtasen]

I need to return to the way. I got lost now following the trail back home. Pilamayaye
