The Hallucinogen Honey Hunters of Nepal
When you think of psychedelics (if you ever think about them, which you should), you probably wouldn’t think of honey as being a substance that can cleanse the doors of perception. But in Nepal tribes hunt a certain type of wild honey (known as “mad honey”) which has natural psychoactive properties, and how they do it is explored in this very cool documentary.
Getting to the honey is a mission in itself, not only are the hives situated on sheer-faced cliffs that have taken the lives of many hunters, they also have to avoid getting stung too. But the reward is the fresh, hallucinogenic honey, which is used for medicinal purposes as well as for recreational drug use.
