In the realm of psychedelic exploration, honoring those who came before, particularly Indigenous communities, is not only an ethical imperative but also crucial for responsible and effective practice. These communities have stewarded these medicines for millennia, accumulating invaluable knowledge and understanding. By acknowledging their contributions, we ensure their voices are heard and their cultural heritage is respected. Furthermore, integrating Indigenous wisdom into psychedelic work can enrich our understanding of the medicines and their potential for healing, fostering a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach. This creates a foundation for building respectful partnerships and ensuring that the benefits of psychedelics reach those most affected by the historical injustices surrounding their use. I am grateful for this work and dedicated to continued discussions and education to reduce and prevent harm.
