SANTO DAIME IS A RELIGION THAT MIXES INDIAN, CATHOLIC AND AFRICAN TRADITIONS, WITH A BIT OF HALLUCINOGENIC DRUGS



The tone is a bit sensationalist, but it's hard not to be with such a topic. Daime used to be very small and secluded to rural/forest areas, but now it's widespread and practised in urban centres, and everybody knows someone who practices Daime.

  1. O termo correto para se referir ao Daime não é "alucinógeno". Um alucinógeno causa alucinações. O Daime não distorce a percepção mas sim, a aguça! O nome correto então é ENTEOGENO. quanto mais informação menos preconceito!
