The Psychedelic Network, Pt 3: Mexico, Australia, and Israel

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead

The Psychedelic Network, Pt 2: Europe

Many people in today’s neoliberal capitalist society feel deeply confused and dissatisfied at the suggestion that the meaning of life is material accumulation and consumption. It seems more and more people are asking, “Is this it?” And of course, it isn’t; there is more to life.

The Psychedelic Network, Pt 1: USA

Over the past few years, psychedelic societies have begun popping up all over the world. We interviewed some of the pioneers. First stop: USA.

Psychedelics and Social Justice

For the movement toward psychedelic consciousness to be as transformative as it can possibly be, it is our obligation as a psychedelic community to be aware of our shortcomings and to challenge them head-on.

Psychedelic Inclusivity: Hopes and Challenges

When stubborn drives for inclusion and connection in the present betray a racially divided past, psychonauts may be able to attend to histories of exclusion, separation and disconnection in order to deepen our understanding and engagement in the present.

Privilege and Safety in the Psychedelic Community

I feel safe openly advocating for the beneficial use of illicit substances because I have never been stopped by police without legitimate cause.

My First Psychedelic Experience at Johns Hopkins Changed My Life
