...hallucinogenic alkaloid dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, drinking ayahuasca in the U.S. is illegal. But traditional use of the plant potion is permitted in much of South America. Its mecca is the Peruvian city of Iquitos, which hosts the annual International Amazonian Shamanism Conference and is home to about a dozen lodges that cater to curious foreigners. At first, local residents feared that a flood of stoned beatniks would turn Iquitos into an unruly rain-forest Woodstock. "I thought they'd be from the hippie graveyard, with tattoos and sunken faces," says Gerald Mayeaux, a Houston native who runs The Yellow Rose...

...match two dollars for each dollar students from the high school raised up to $10,000, a gift organizers called “key” to the walk’s success. Over twenty churches, Young Haitians United, members of the local community, and more than a dozen schools participated. “Even if the economy tanks, whatever we contribute, it’s something they didn’t have.
