Let’s Talk About That.

The War on Drugs is inherently anti-black. Most psychedelic users that I’ve encountered are hesitant to take a stance on the racial aspects of the drug war.

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

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.

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.

Social movements are remembered in history for the things they do and the actions they take, not for what they inadvertently hope will happen.
