'Tryptamine Palace: 5-MeO-DMT and the Sonoran Desert Toad'
11:06h
'Tryptamine Palace' was written by Oroc over a period of many years, and the subtitle "A Journey from Burning Man to the Akashic Field" sets the basic tone for this book. I felt instantly overwhelmed with Oroc's attempt to re-brand spiritual elements of psychedelic mythology, including a quirky deconstruction of the word "God" into the mathematical formula G/d, which he presents on page 5 and uses throughout the remainder of the text. The technical information presented on DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and Bufo alvarius is all well researched and will be interesting for people who have not read other source materials, but much of Oroc's material is re-tread of popular theories of transcendent metaphysics or well-worn historical events like Leary's High Priest days and the CIA's MK-ULTRA experiments. 'Tryptamine Palace' reads like a big jumble of psychedelic lore, none of it covered in much detail, making it seem more like a garden-variety psychedelic primer than an important new treatise on 5-MeO-DMT.
Landmark book shows how to legalise and regulate drugs
12:35h
“Like it or not, drugs are here to stay, so we have a choice - either criminals control them, or governments do. By the cautious implementation of a legally regulated regime, we can control products, prices, vendors, outlets, availability, and using environments through a range of regulatory models, depending on the nature of the drug, and evidence of what works. Under prohibition we have no control whatsoever, the consequences of which have been disastrous.”
“Governments that ignore the evidence and maintain the failing status quo are being negligent, reckless and irresponsible. With the regulatory systems proposed in this book now available, national and international policy makers must conduct comprehensive Impact Assessments to count the costs and benefits of prohibition, and compare them with legally regulated control. At the least, this will enable government and taxpayers to assess how well scarce resources are being spent. At best, it will trigger a genuine debate on alternatives to the futile war on drugs, leading to the replacement of prohibition with an effective, just and humane system of legal regulation.”
