This is such an important series and raises salient points about our relationship to plants. Amazing work. Thank you to Dr. Terry for your incredible and tireless work, and to Dr. Labate and Chacruna Institute for exploring these difficult and tempering discussions.

Natives have always known how to harvest and gather in a responsible way. They're not being over harvested, they're being ripped up from land development and poachers (to sell on the black market.) Who do you think showed them the proper way to harvest? The way the question was asked AND answered made it seem like Native Americans were somehow the problem.

Agreed. The conversation the two had didn’t go deep enough to bring light to traditional practises.

A more logical aspect would be legalize it and cultivate it, he's 100% correct to save this cactus by cultivation.

Would love to ask Dr. Martin Terry a few questions, but trying to get ahold of him seems impossible, I hope that changes soon. Thanks for this great short documentary, it feels good to know the plant will survive one way or another. ;)

my peyotsi got bit by my dog, he took like 70 percent of the green tissue, I´m afraid it won´t regrow :(

It’s important that the DEA allow the Native American Church to cultivate their own. The DEA should just decriminalize cultivation for everyone.

How racist is it to let indians have religious freedom but not every other race? Identity politics is such a horrible thing.

Wow. Help me understand how rather than asking Native Americans and Mexican Indigenous communities who have worked and developed a DEEP relationship with this Master Plant Teacher on a continuous basis for hundreds and thousands of years, you ask a person who does not value it as such? He has not worked with this plant extensively, he is not Native American, he cannot and should not be a voice for this medicine if he does not truly understand everything about this plant, which he absolutely does not. Sure, he brings value in his efforts to preserve the plant and encourages its cultivation and better harvesting. You had an amazing opportunity to elevate this Master Plant and its medicinal and life altering values and likewise the beauty of Indigenous communities and their ceremonies with this plant. This is yet another example of colonial thinking and suppression of Indigenous knowledge and communities.

Indigenous folk are not all the same. In all populations some are thoughtful and some reckless. If the reckless in any population aren't reigned in they will destroy the world for everyone.
