Yea, but there are a few things though that could be better. For one, if mad honey are poisonus and halusogenic, how can they export it to strict drug and health countries as US. Is it a fake product and the doc makers promoted a fake product?. Second are this kind of doc always follow the same pattern. Lots of talk about how dangerous it is, money ,money ,money, and then about climate change and the impact it has. In nepal, most mountaines region ever, i think the developers say it because it makes them look good, maybe

I am a Gurung, and 'mad honey hunting' is one of our culture among many. But it is sad to say this culture is slowly dissappearing. Ive never seen any Nepalese media covering this, or promoting about it. दुखको कुरा त के छ भनी गुरुङहरु कतिलाई थाहा पनि छैन कि यो हाम्रो जातीय पेशा जस्तो एक महत्वपूर्ण काम हो। यस्को जगेर्ना गर्नु हाम्रो कर्तव्य हो। दुनियाँ छाडा कुरा फैलाउनु भन्दा सबै नेपालीले यस्तो कुराको जानकारी फैलाउनु पर्छ है।

@@zamoth22 You really have a positive mind brother. But our media doesn't think any good at all, they just sell bullshit. And people from Nepal already knows the difficulties of doing this job. You have to walk for 3-4 days in average through the harsh forest with many wild animals just to reach to the place where you can find Mad Honey. Height and lack of PPE is just another problem, but if you unfortunately get even a single bite by those particular bees, you will get sick for days, and if just get couple of bites then there are chances that you might loose your life. So that's why I think we will not see any huge queue any sooner for this job. Anyway, Ramadan Kareem to you and your family my brother.

Outsiders from around the world already deals with this, and as the last comment stated the hives are being collected using drones at a much safer and faster rate. So currently businesses no longer need the farmers to climb cliffs to collect, they are cutting out the collectors and businesses are collecting it themselves. You can easily buy mad honey across the world. However depending on country regulations, the honey may be heavily altered. For example, in the US, no hallucination drugs are allowed to be imported to the US if it has no medical properties(mad honey is classes a schedule 1 drug, no medical properties). So in order to sell it in the US the honey must be altered to remove the hallucinogenic properties of the honey in order to sell in the US. So what you’re left with is just simply a more bitter honey.

they should figure out how to keep them and grow the needed plant nearby. That would save them a lot of danger if they figured out a way to do it. Its not like they can increase production so much that the price will crash. Honey always remains relatively expensive after all.

A 32oz bottle/ 2lbs ? of it for $300 - that’s not expensive given the risk. Plenty of other things like perfume and cosmetics cost much much more, for way less.

Then eat from all the fruits and go along the pathways of your Lord made easy for you. From their bellies comes out a drink of various colours in which there is a cure for people.
