Shroom with a View Episode 52- Smart n’ Herbal

Welcome to Ep52 of the SWAV podcast where we start by interviewing Ben from The Smart N’ Herbal Smartshop, right in the centre of Amsterdam. We talk about the Dutch truffle business and the differences between the various truffles you can buy now and the days when cubensis were legal; we chat about the function of Smartshops; the advice they give to tourists and what the future might be for them.

We then have some fantastic music from Etnoscope who are featured all through this episode. More of their excellent music can be found by google, on youtube or on their myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/etnoscope    

The second part of the episode introduces the topic of Iboga and Ibogaine which we will be doing a few shows on. Here is presented a talk by Dimitri Mobengo Mugianis who speaks frankly at the 2008 Horizons Conference about his work illicitly treating heroin addicts with Iboga. He is also an initiate in several African religions who use plant sacraments. This powerful talk leaves lots of questions… questions Nex tries to get some answers to in the next episode when he visits The Iboga Foundation in the heart of the Dutch countryside: http://www.ibogafoundation.com/
