Cognitive liberty—unencumbered self-determination over how we change our consciousness—is necessary but not sufficient for the psychedelic movement. Rights frameworks leave out the under-resourced and oppressed. We need a justice framework for psychedelics so all can heal
We've been falling down on posting over here but have been doing exciting things! New website, second meeting of the National Council on Federal Psychedelics Priorities, and moving ahead on other fronts!
HEAL is a psychedelic org, but we’re concerned with justice first. If the cannabis safe banking bill passes, it could be years before there’s enough political capital to move a cannabis justice bill, and we can’t have that.

If psychedelic issues are about individual and collective liberation, then these are psychedelic issues.
There are many harmful technologies that fuel ICE's deportation machine. In this essay, @aly_panjwani of @JustFuturesLaw and @ConMijente writes about the agency's risk assessment tool, which has been manipulated to recommend detention almost all the time. https://t.co/rSRVPawc16
I mean, on the one hand, sure, probably, whatever; on the other, Compass would best be left in the dustbin

Same statement, with “psychedelics.” People are, and should be, excited about psychedelic healing. And we can’t tap into their full healing potential in a broken social container in which people are oppressed for drug use, manufacture, and sale
Cannabis legalization alone will not end the drug war. Drug use - regardless of the substance - is a public health issue & it must be treated like one. We must end drug stigma, invest in harm reduction, & atone for decades of drug war harms in communities.
What might the training programs for psilocybin facilitators look like?
Here is a draft the training subcommittee will vote on tomorrow.

Are we going to use psychedelics to pretend to heal and become better workers and consumers in a broken system? Or are we going to genuinely heal, to become freerer, wiser and more creative humans in freerer, wiser and more creative societies?
One of the most interesting aspects of watching psychedelic mainstreaming unfold is seeing how the need for intellectual property in pharma drives absolutely pointless innovation. We don't need "pro-drugs" - go eat some mushrooms. The problem is, you can't patent that.
Happy 9/20, everyone! If you don’t have the HOURS it takes to celebrate in a certain way, check out this amazing, vulnerable discussion w with @m00shian. It’s pretty freaking psychedelic.🙌🏼
In this episode, Joe Moore and Kyle Buller celebrate 9/20 by sitting down with friend, writer, Editor in Chief of the blog, and past Solidarity Friday member, Michelle Janikian.

Just over here, reading about the reproductive justice movement to inform our views on psychedelics policy, when suddenly: SCOPOLAMINE for childbirth? Barbaric country.
