David Dupuis is an anthropologist, specializing in psychotropics and hallucinogenic substances. For 10 years, he has been conducting research on the use of these substances, and the globalization of certain plant beverages such as ayahuasca.

In this episode, he recounts his experience in the Peruvian upper Amazon - an obligatory passage in contact with the local population for a year and a half, during which he studied, in particular, the globalization of shamanic tourism. He talks about his profession, which is quite different from that of a sociologist, and answers all our questions:

What is a psychedelic and/or hallucinogenic substance? What is its impact on the human body? What is the difference with medicinal plants? Why do Westerners in search of well-being go to the other side of the world to test these new kinds of therapies? Is it really effective in relieving stress and mental health issues?
