The goal of this organization will be the affirmation that an interest in psychedelia is natural and healthy. The altering of one’s own consciousness has been a part of human life for thousands of years. We must also face that substance abuse, suicide, and numerous other traumas have been serious plague on our mental and physical health. Deaths of despair are exploding; the average life expectancy of an American citizen has gone down[1] for the first time since the Spanish Flu. This is indicative of an absence of effective treatments, and a call for needed innovation within an outdated landscape of healthcare. As citizens striving towards improvement and progress in all matters. We must reopen the discussion, and examine prohibitive attitudes towards stigmatized psychotropic tools. Thoughtful and purposeful application of those tools to well specified criteria, we contend, will be the next great innovation for giving people access to an ability to help themselves. We have advocacy at the center of our mission. Advocacy requires passionate knowledgeable promotion of our views. It also requires extending the hands of respect out to conversational bystanders, and vehement detractors. In the hopes that our exchange will illuminate and sharpen our understanding of the world and each other.
