The IAmShaman Shop has led the way for many products that the ethnobotanical market has never seen, such as Blue Lotus seed tinctures, the Kava products listed above, and others such as Standardized Extracts of the highest quality organically grown herbs. As they state on their website:
“No matter what products we carry at the Shop, we only buy from suppliers who do not steal their crops form indigenous or protected lands, and who are ethical and trustworthy in all aspects of their business. This often costs more, but we don't care. The reason I began this place in the first place, is because I was tired of waiting weeks for my products, while paying incredibly high prices for low quality, and I was also tired of never being able to reach anyone by phone, as my repeated e-mails went unanswered. I thought that there must be a better way and set out to create that better way.
So, this is a team effort that wouldn't be possible without our loyal customers, and we are more than pleased with what we have been able to accomplish already. Whenever you buy any of our products, know that they come direct from the source, and that you are helping cultures that are disappearing at an alarming rate, find ways of surviving in harmony with their environment, protecting it for future generations. Admittedly, this is only a drop in the bucket, but we feel that a drop is better than nothing at all, and we hope that other importers and venders will take this example and do the same.
My dream was to find a way to help support both the entheogen community, and support, in whatever small way, to conserve the rainforests and indigenous cultures that are disappearing at an alarming rate. None of it would have been possible if it weren't for so many people spreading the word about our shop and our work, and for that we are eternally grateful, and it's something we and I try to never forget. We show our thanks in keeping our prices low, by keeping the quality extraordinarily high, by continually researching and adding new products that we believe in, and through our unparalleled customer service. Together, we truly believe that we can all make a difference.”
We applaud them for their efforts, and hope that the community has the freedom to learn about and explore these unique products from disappearing cultures for a long time to come.
