Peter Gorman

Peter Gorman is an investigative journalist and former editor-in-chief of High Times magazine. He lives in New York and spends at least 3 months of every year living in Peru, where he works with Ayahuasca and other plant based medicines, as well as doing political work. Much of his writing, both in Peru and the United States, has focused on the on-going War on Drugs; his 2000 story about a missionary plane shot down over Peru led United States Representative Cynthia McKinney to push through reforms on the identification of possible drug-smuggling planes, and a 1992 series of articles on property forfeiture was instrumental in Senator Henry Hyde's reforms of forfeiture laws.
