A great read, thank you. I had no idea about this mainstream wave coming until I saw you share this article on IG! As someone who benefitted (spiritually and physically) from ceremonial cacao, I'm afraid of how capitalism will co-opt it, as it happens time and time again with all indigenous knowledge and medicine. And I can't help but wonder if the same horrible capitalist fate awaits psilocybin a couple of years or decades down the line.

It is happening to ayahuasca and even iboga - capitalising ceremonies and plant medicine is very en Vogue in spiritual materialism and a numb western society that ruthlessly takes all it can get.. it is sad, but it’s also a needed wake up call and we can only hope to raise awareness whilst stepping forward

There is also amazing beautiful things coming our way I am sure! I just hope the chocolate history won’t repeat itself but it seems there is more awareness and through education and the internet we can raise more of it!!!
