west africa: Despite the damage caused by air travel, she flew to Costa Rica to take a dose of ibogaine, a hallucinogenic shrub growing in West Africa, according to Rabble. She also tried ayahuasca, a highly toxic, mind-bending potion made by Amazon jungle shamans. One of its directors and a key figure in XR' is Wiltshire mother and neo-pagan' Gail Bradbrook, 47, who said on a recent podcast that she decided to become an activist as a direct result of taking huge doses of two powerful psychedelic drugs. Bradbrook, left, who has a PhD in molecular biophysics, says the drugs rewired' her brain and gave her the codes of social change'. Afterwards, she ended her marriage and began her activism in XR. Within XR, she holds mystic moon circles' with female colleagues inside a tepee, at which they ingest another natural' drug, mugwort, used by ancient Celts. She has also said she does not condemn' protesters who choose to damage property in order to protect nature', although she personally prefers non-violence.
