			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;">São Paulo, quarta-feira, 14 de julho de 2010</span> <img src="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/cotidian/images/saopau.gif" alt="" hspace="10" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Neurocientistas renomados assinam documento em defesa da legalização da droga até para fins &#8220;recreativos&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Nota foi motivada pela prisão do baixista da banda de reggae Ponto de Equilibrio, por plantio de maconha </strong></p>
<p><strong>EDUARDO GERAQUE</strong><br />
<span>DE SÃO PAULO </span></p>
<p>Um grupo de neurocientistas que estão entre os mais renomados do país escreveu uma carta pública para defender a liberalização da maconha não só para uso medicinal, mas para &#8220;consumo próprio&#8221;.<br />
Assinam a carta nomes como Stevens Rehen, da UFRJ, coautor da primeira linhagem de células tronco no país, e Sidarta Ribeiro, diretor do Instituto de Neurociências de Natal.<br />
Eles falam em nome da SBNeC (Sociedade Brasileira de Neurociências e Comportamento), que representa 1.500 pesquisadores.<br />
A motivação do documento foi a prisão -um &#8220;equívoco&#8221;, diz o texto- do músico Pedro Caetano, baixista da banda de reggae Ponto de Equilíbrio, que ganhou repercussão na internet.<br />
Ele está preso desde o dia 1º sob acusação de tráfico por cultivar dez pés de maconha e oito mudas da planta em casa, em Niterói (RJ).<br />
Segundo o advogado do músico, ele planta a erva para consumo próprio.<br />
A carta o defende dizendo que é &#8220;urgente&#8221; discutir melhor as leis sobre drogas &#8220;para evitar a prisão daqueles usuários que, ao cultivarem a maconha para uso próprio, optam por não mais alimentar o poderio dos traficantes de drogas&#8221;.<br />
De acordo com os membros da SBNeC, existe conhecimento científico suficiente para, pelo menos, a liberalização do uso medicinal da maconha no Brasil.<br />
A SBNeC se baseia em estudos que mostram efeitos terapêuticos que poderão, um dia, ajudar no tratamento de doenças como Parkinson.<br />
É uma posição bem diferente da adotada, por exemplo, pela Associação Brasileira de Estudos do Álcool e outras Drogas (leia ao lado).</p>
<p><strong>EM OUTROS PAÍSES</strong><br />
&#8220;O Brasil está atrasado nessa discussão, ao contrário do que ocorre em países como Argentina, México e Portugal&#8221;, diz Ribeiro.<br />
Nos vizinhos sul-americanos, por exemplo, é permitido o porte de alguns cigarros de maconha para consumo próprio. O fumo, entretanto, não pode ocorrer na rua.<br />
Diferentemente de quase todos os países, onde a maconha é banida, outros como a Holanda e a Espanha permitem o consumo e o cultivo para consumo próprio.<br />
&#8220;A lei de drogas no Brasil -reformada na última vez em 2006- avançou, mas criou um paradoxo&#8221;, diz Ribeiro. &#8220;A pena para o usuário baixou, mas ela não permite o cultivo para uso próprio&#8221;.<br />
Se a Justiça entender que o músico da Ponto de Equilíbrio é traficante, ele poderá ficar, pelo menos, cinco anos na cadeia. Caso ele seja considerado usuário, deverá prestará serviços sociais por apenas alguns meses.<br />
&#8220;Falta uma espécie de manual de instruções desta lei&#8221;, afirma Antônio Gonçalves, advogado especialista em filosofia do direito.<br />
A legislação, diz o especialista, não define quem é o traficante e quem é o usuário. Fica tudo para a Justiça definir. &#8220;Falta a lei dizer como proceder, para evitar situações como a do músico&#8221;.</p>

<p><strong>Title: Santo Daime; betekenis en aantrekkingskracht van een ayahuasca-religie</strong></p>
<p>This book is a revised version of the authors’ MA Thesis at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, for which the author has traveled to Florianópolis (Brazil). This multi-sited research makes a cross-cultural connection between the Santo Daime religion in Brazil and in The Netherlands. The research is also quite unique in the sense that it’s merely based upon literature and interviews, the researcher herself didn’t participate in the rituals. By this means, the book offers an outsiders’ view, written in a way that’s accessible for everyone to read and simultaneously giving a voice to the participants. It gives a complete and detailed description of the Santo Daime religion: the organisation, the rituals and the drinking of the Daime (ayahuasca). The main question of this work is: <em>“What’s the meaning and power of attraction of the Santo Daime religion for the participants and how can it be explained that it has spread all over the world in less than a century”</em>? The aim of this research is to show the difference between the profane and sacred use of psychoactive plants, emphasizing the benefits of the latter one and the importance of legalizing this and other spiritual currents. It also talks about the need for protecting the Amazon forest, whose plants and people possess a treasure of knowledge, which is slowly getting lost. According to the author, here lies a task for the new generation of academic research: to reunite science and religion.</p>

<p><strong>Jazmin Wuyts</strong> was born in Italy in 1984 and lived in Argentina, Peru, as well as in The Netherlands. Being raised within two cultures, she decided to study Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at the University of Leiden in The Netherlands in 2002. During her study her focus was mostly on the anthropological basis for religion and spirituality.  <em>“Why do people believe?”</em> was the title of one of her papers. For her MA Thesis she traveled in 2007 to Florianópolis, Brazil, and studied the Santo Daime religion. She interviewed people both in Brazil and in The Netherlands, trying to grasp the religious experience and identity of the participants. In 2010 she published her MA Thesis as a book, titled: “<em>Santo Daime; meaning and<ins datetime="2010-07-09T15:53" cite="mailto:Jazmín%20Wuyts"> </ins> power of attraction of an ayahuasca-religion</em>” (original Dutch title: <em>“Santo Daime; betekenis en aantrekkingskracht van een ayahuasca-religie”</em>). Currently she’s studying dance and body awareness, with the aim of linking anthropology and dance.</p>

</div>
<p>There is an increased controversy surrounding Westerners&#8217; use of ayahuasca. One issue of importance is psychological resiliency of users and lack of screening by ayahuasca tourism groups in the Amazon. Given the powerful effects of ayahuasca coupled with lack of cultural support, Western users are at increased risk for psychological distress. Many Westerners who experience psychological distress following ayahuasca ceremonies report concurrently profound spiritual experiences. Because of this, it may be helpful to consider these episodes &#8220;spiritual emergencies,&#8221; or crises resulting from intense and transformative spiritual experiences. Although the author warns readers to avoid romantic comparisons of Western ayahuasca users to shamans, ethnographic data on indigenous shamanic initiates along with theory on liminality may be of some use to understand difficult experiences that accompany ayahuasca use. Given that psychotherapy is culturally sanctioned, therapists trained in treating spiritual crises can help Western ayahuasca users make meaning of their distress. Three case studies are offered as examples of individuals working through various sorts of crises following ayahuasca ceremonies.</p>
