The idea of administering psychedelics like psilocybin to terminal patients facing existential distress was once considered radical, yet emerging evidence suggests they may offer profound comfort and coping strategies.
Richard Evan Schultes dedicated over a decade to studying indigenous plant use for medicinal and ritual purposes in the Amazon, collecting over 24,000 plant species and contributing significantly to ethnobotany.
Schultes is regarded as the last of the great plant explorers, a title that signals his enormous impact on both anthropology and conservation, redefining humanity's relationship with nature.
Schultes' work, emphasizing conservation and the respect for ancient practices, paved the way for a growing appreciation of traditional healers and the medicinal potential of plants.
