Globalization profoundly reshapes the field of traditional medicines and psychoactive plants. Practices once confined to specific territories — Amazonian ayahuasca, Central African iboga, Mesoamerican mushrooms — now circulate across continents, intersecting with biomedical research, retreat tourism, commercial expansion, drug control frameworks and the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities. ICEERS engages with these dynamics from scientific, legal, ethical and cultural perspectives. This page gathers content on globalization in connection with its work.
