“…most of the people I hold in the highest regard in psychedelics are those not singularly focused on psychedelics or were accomplished in another field before turning to psychedelics or today remain multidisciplinary. And It makes sense. If you are dependent on psychedelics or psychedelics are your everything, you aren’t going to trash it, even when the trash must be taken out.”
Brilliant article, Matt! Over the years, I’ve come to be extra skeptical of those whose livelihoods are deeply intertwined with serving or promoting psychedelics. Whether they be the ceremony minstrel or the shaman pouring the cup, there is seldom seen an ability to self-reflect or atone, let lone grapple with, the intractable problems posed by manipulators and abusers in the psychedelic community. The wounded sometimes run straight into the lions’ den. I think the most reasonable people in the psychedelic space always keep one foot outside the door.
