Summary
Caitlin Thompson discusses her experiences as a kambo practitioner who has both published scientific research on kambo and learned from Matsés practitioners. We discuss how psychedelic wellness culture has intersected with kambo to create highly structured, often spiritual experiences, despite this being quite different than how many matsés people use kambo. Caitlin is also quite open about the numerous potential issues with Kambo, including environmental sustainability and its lack of ability to fit into a typical drug development framework. We also discuss various potential risks associated with Kambo use and why contextual factors likely play an essential role.
