That answer will alter by the pathway and personal choice of the specific shaman.

It's also important to note that some shamans don't use any substances at all -- not even incense (which, for the most part, is in no way mind-altering).

What percentage of medicine comes from the rainforest?

That depends on how you look at it. Few currently used drugs come directly from the rainforest, although many drugs were developed on the basis of 'lead compounds' that were identified from tropical plants. Examples are local anesthetics like lidocaine, that were developed from cocaine, or drugs used in chemotherapy. Roughly 25% of the drugs come from plants originally, not all of them from rainforests though.

Are natural drugs safer than manufactured drugs?

Yes, they are in most cases safer. Natural drugs are herbs and other plants that have medicinal uses. Many pharmeceudical (manufactured) drugs, ae a result of extracting the substance in the plant, and changing it in some way in order to patent it. Other pharmeceudical drugs are created in some other way. In either case, natural herbs and plants are usually safer than manufactured drugs in that though they work slower, natural herbs that are used medicinally do not have the side effects that pharmeceudical drugs do. This is not to say that herbs and other natural ways of treating disease may not have side effects, just that they are not as common or severe as manufactured drugs.
