As we mentioned in our Monsanto episode, the scope of the biotech behemoth's influence doesn't stop at the purse strings of the farmers that they intimidate. Nor does it end with the public who are sometimes unwittingly ingesting their genetically modified products and weedkillers. It doesn't even end with the war chest available to them for dodgy but ostensibly legal activities like lobbying, costly lawsuits and ousting/absorbing any competition that might sprout up in their field. Their reach extends all the...

For years debate over the use of psychedelics has raged within the minds of Conspiracy Guys. But it's always been a long held belief that they expand the mind by opening up new neural pathways. If only mainstream science would turn it's well funded eye towards research that could change public perception of the use and value of psychotropics such as psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, DMT and Ayohuasca. Well some nerds have been at it, and wired.com has brought us this incredible...

Ergotism is the effect of long term poisoning due to the ingestion of the alkaloids that infects rye and other cereals. It also may have been the cause of a mass hallucination that caused a rash of werewolf sightings in 16th century Europe. I have eaten of the root of St. Anthony's fire, ergo, I have become the wolf. Though this particular Wikipedia entry does not site ergotism as the cause of the reports of werewolves and baby snatching canines it does...

In all seriousness though, the celebrities who believe the official narrative of 9/11 are any of the ones...

Shamans, witch doctors, visionaries, the elite and common man alike have partaken in consciousness alteration through the use of substances which are for the most part illicit. It's interesting to keep in mind that alcohol, tobacco and coffee were all classed as illegal psychoactive substances at one point. Also check out this link:  "The 19th-century opium trade was a...

In our MK Ultra episode we covered heavily the topic of LSD and other psychoactive substances. It's a thorny issue and one which meets with a lot of vitriol from the anti-narcotic community and the mainstream media. It seems, generally, the goal with the information and discussions on the subject of psychotropics is to: - demonize the substances and their side-effects - and to ignore in entirety the subject of expanding ones consciousness. As marijuana decriminalization and legal distribution become more prevalent around...

In the Top 10 list of operation names comes the CIA run Midnight Climax, and it did exactly what it said on the tin. It's something we mention in-depth in last weeks MK Ultra episode.

The unwitting participants would then be slipped various doses of LSD and have psychological experiments carried...

Like some other well-known hallucinogenic substances, ibogaine is shown to help beat drug addictions, as well as dependency on nicotine and alcohol. It's also a Schedule 1 substance, the same as the heroin and cocaine people can be taken off with this drug. Side effects include hallucinations, vomiting and tremors. Would you trade years of crippling substance abuse for a few hours of visions and vomitus? Should psychedelics be classed as severely as heroin and crack when they are shown...
