Bu'pu: a foamed perfumed chocolate drink with Plumeria flowers
Bu'pu is a delicious aromatic chocolate drink made only in Juchitan, Oaxaca, Mexico with the flowers of plumeria (aka frangipani, flor de mayo, or cacaloxochitl), cacao, and panela, an unrefined sugar. These are all ground together to make a paste which is mixed with water and then foamed with a molinillo into a tasty perfumed froth served over a white corn porridge called atole, and eaten with a spoon in the evenings in the Juchitan square. This drink, rarely seen outside of this one town, is part of the great heritage and knowledge that the different indigenous people of Mexico have with cacao and chocolate, that is disappearing in many places.
Proceeds from our kickstarter campaign ( will go to help preserve important cultural practices and recipes surrounding cacao and chocolate like this and help Mexican cacao farmers get organic certification for their cacao so they can get a higher value for it on the world market, recognition of the fact that their ancestors in Southern Mexico helped invent chocolate, the food of the gods. Please share, tweet, facebook, digg, and google+ this video and pledge to our campaign.

Sacred Plants: Medicine and Traditions | Plantas Sagradas en las Américas
Speakers and presentations (This panel took place on February 23, 2018):
Lilián González - Sinergias y antagonismos entre las plantas enteogénicas de los nahuas de Guerrero.
Emiliano Soriano Vicente - Los efectos de Hueyitlacatsintle y las visiones de un curandero nahua.
Carlos A. Viesca - Plantas sagradas y medicina: de las medicinas prehispánicas a la medicina tradicional.
The Sacred Plants in the Americas conference was held on February 23, 24, and 25, 2018 in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico. The conference had the purpose of building a bridge between indigenous and traditional psychoactive practices, psychedelic science, and drug policy through multidisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. In a context in which drug policy reforms are temporary, we consider it relevant to build spaces for discussion about psychoactive species and their growing multiplicity of uses. Moreover, it also sought to give voice to the indigenous people, who have been knowledgeable about psychoactive plants since ancient times, and they will be providing lectures at the conference.
El congreso Plantas Sagradas en las Américas se realizó los días 23, 24 y 25 de febrero del 2018 en Ajijic, Jalisco, México. Tuvo la finalidad de construir un puente entre las prácticas indígenas y tradicionales de psicoactivos, la ciencia psicodélica y las políticas de drogas; mediante el diálogo multidisciplinario e intercultural. En un contexto en que las reformas a las políticas de drogas son coyunturales, consideramos relevante construir espacios de discusión sobre las especies psicoactivas y su creciente multiplicidad de usos. Además se buscó dar voz a los indígenas, que han sido conocedores de las plantas psicoactivas desde tiempos ancestrales, por lo que ellos impartirán las conferencias magistrales durante el congreso.

Maize
Maize (/ˈmeɪz/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taíno mahiz), known in some English-speaking countries as corn, is a large grain plant domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times. The leafy stalk produces ears which contain the grain, which are seeds called kernels. Maize kernels are often used in cooking as a starch.

SUMMARY
=======
Maize ( MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahiz), also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits.Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. However, little of this maize is consumed directly by humans: most is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.

The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.Maize is the most widely grown grain crop throughout the Americas, with 361 million metric tons grown in the United States in 2014 (Production table). Approximately 40% of the crop—130 million tons—is used for corn ethanol. Genetically modified maize made up 85% of the maize planted in the United States in 2009.Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks. Maize is also used in making ethanol and other biofuels.
