“At our core, we are steadfast believers in the safe, informed, and responsible utilization of psychedelics and the exploration of altered states of consciousness. We see these as catalysts for healing, personal growth, and cultural evolution. The Psychedelic Society (SPS) serves as a platform that seeks to disseminate knowledge, champion evidence-based advocacy, and create a nexus for an informed community and a supportive network. Our overarching goal is to facilitate learning, heighten awareness, and mitigate the risks associated with the responsible, socially constructive application of altered states of consciousness.
Our Perspective on Psychedelics
We acknowledge the profound potency of psychedelics—a potential force for personal and collective healing, growth, and evolution. We approach these substances with the utmost caution and respect. It is important to note that SPS neither endorses nor condemns their use. Instead, we endeavor to construct a secure space for public discourse, allowing for informed discussions on the advantages and risks associated with the use of psychedelics. We aim to educate the public about the burgeoning scientific research in this field, all the while paying homage to the indigenous cultures and traditions that have revered sacred plants and fungi for millennia. SPS is committed to nurturing an active, supportive, and like-minded community through regular events that facilitate interaction, shared experiences, and the exchange of knowledge. We adopt an integrative approach, delving into the social, cultural, and scientific dimensions of psychedelics. This includes the invitation of experts and individuals with profound personal insight in each of these realms to offer their perspectives.
Our Belief in Psychedelics
We firmly believe that psychedelics are an integral facet of the ongoing evolution of human consciousness. They reveal the sacredness and interconnectedness of all existence, spark profound creative inspiration, and promote unity in a world where divisions are increasingly apparent, and the connection to our broader ecosystem is at risk.
Our Role in the Global Movement
SPS is a vital component of a global movement that ardently advocates for a positive perception of psychedelics and champions their secure, informed, and socially constructive use. We are presently orchestrating a far-reaching grassroots network to bolster the movement’s efforts in expanding access and reducing criminal penalties associated with these substances.”
