Microdose 19: The Entheogen Combination Matrix and the future of drug combination displays

Not everyone knows that mixing B. caapi and Acacia can get a bit psychedelic. Even fewer understand that by mixing Acacia and Kava you can make a different type of changa. Fewer people still know that having Kava alongside a steamy mug of Ma Huang is potentially life threatening.

Inspired by Tripsit’s Guide to Drug Combinations, The Entheogen Combination Matrix contains an impressive list of 22 of the most popular plants, fungi and animals on two axes. The intersection of two list items is coded to indicate the risk of the combination. The Ethnobotanical Combination Chart uses scientifically accurate names, each of which is accompanied by a unique image that we have strived to make taxonomically correct. Created by a multidisciplinary team of ethnobotanists, pharmacologists and healthcare practitioners, production of The Entheogen Combination Matrix was led by Dr Liam Engel alongside an expert team.

Join Liam and the EGA crew for our 19th Microdose livestream to hear about the construction of the Entheogen Combination Matrix and the future of this project. We’ll also be joined by Associate Professor Malcolm McLeod to heat about his experiences drug checking around the world, including with CanTEST, Australia’s first fixed site drug checking service.
