Between Emerald Worlds: Analyzing the Spiritual, Ritual, and Pharmacological Facets of Neuroactive Natural Materials in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS1894ES
Research questions to be addressed by this project: 1) How do various indigenous communities in Uganda understand, use, and prepare neuroactive plants, fungi, and other natural materials for spiritual, ritual, and ceremonial purposes and within their healthcare systems; 2) can the pharmacological targets of these materials be identified, and what active ingredients are causing the claimed effects; 3) can animal self-medication evidence for the use of neuroactive materials by the apes be generated for the first time; and 4)how to develop and to distinguish best-practice models for the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol for both non-financial and financial benefit-sharing when the intellectual property holders are either a) members of local human populations or b) apes (an unprecedented case)?
Main objective: To help fill gaps in social and natural scientific research on neuroactive natural remedies in a region of the world about which very few ethnopharmacological studies on the use of neuroactive natural remedies exist.
Specific objectives: 1) The first-time documentation of the cultural, spiritual, and ritual use of neuroactive natural remedies in rural Uganda, including methods of preparation and administration in a cultural, potentially ceremonial, setting; 2) the identification of new bioactive substance leads on the basis of the archiving of the chemical biodiversity of the collected samples; 3) the generation of new knowledge on how different populations interpret the spiritual/ritual settings of various neuroactive natural materials; 4) the contribution of new insights into the benefits of neuroactive natural remedies with respect to mental health and societal well-being; 5) a deeper understanding of the importance/intentions of various neuroactive substances for spiritual and ritual purposes within cultural worldviews; 6) the investigation of potential overlap in the use of neuroactives between humans and non-human primates at the study sites; 7) the shifting of negative Western views on neuroactive substances as stimulants/sedatives and rightfully DEA Schedule I substances.
