[edit] timeline

the timeline was taken straight from erowid. i removed but am going to ask for permission to use it, as its actually a nice thing to have. --Heah (talk) 23:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

MeDP: Dreadfuly sorry about that, I assumed that one could freely distribute the timeline as long as the credit was given, if that is the case, part of the text in the beginnig was also taken from Erowid.Sorry once again, MeDP.

I'm sure erowid will let us use it, but on their copyright info page they do request that people ask when using stuff from their site. so i just asked, and in all likelyhood they'll let us put it back up. (they can be slow to respond to emails and stuff though . . . ) --Heah (talk) 17:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

MeDP:Good thing then, I'd be glad to see it back up there since there is some pretty good information on that website, if erath or fire read this, sorry again.

[edit] Cult?

The page refered to the Bwiti religion twice as a cult. Seeing as it is one of three officially recognized religions in Gabon, I think it hardly qualifies as a cult. Therefore I removed the phrase cult.

[edit] Ethnobotanists

From the article: "Mentioned by ethnobotanists as a possible candidate as the mythical Tree of Knowledge that resided in the Garden of Eden." Of course, put like this, this will only be true for ethnobotaninsts who take the old testament literally. So I suggest a rewording. I suppose what was meant is that Iboga may be the source of the tale of the tree of knowledge. I thought about changing it to that, but that would constitute original research. But as it stands it can't be right, so I'll just remove it. Maybe someone who knows more about it will come along and correct it. DirkvdM 10:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
