Plant medicines, psychedelics and entheogens are gifts from nature to all humankind. Their access should be protected as a human right, along with general sovereignty over one's own consciousness. Access to pure and safe sacraments should be made widely available through both scientific and religious contexts.
Indigenous Respect & Stewardship
Indigenous communities developed and protected these sacred technologies for millennia. Their stories should be respected, their wisdom should be integrated, and they should receive a significant portion of profits made from commercialization. It is on their lands that we research, heal and convene.
Religion, Spirituality & Evolution
It is critical that evolutionary sacraments can be integrated both inside the laboratory and doctors office, as well as within religious, spiritual and evolutionary contexts. These tools should be treated as more than just medicines - they are powerful sacraments for human evolution and global impact. As such, their access should be treated as a top priority within systems of global problem solving, peacemaking and permanent sustainability.
