I want to be clear about where I stand. I support classic psychedelics like psilocybin, psilocin, Mescaline, LSD, and also cannabis, not because I think everyone should use them, but because I believe in the freedom of consciousness.

This isn’t a war on drugs; it’s a war on consciousness itself. The stigma surrounding psychedelics has been built and reinforced by decades of fear-based media and institutional control. Simply talking about these substances bout to send some people on the Fediverse into outrage, which says more about the conditioning than about the substances themself.

I am proudly pro-psychedelics. For those struggling with depression, PTSD, or deep emotional wounds, these tools, when used with respect and proper guidance, can offer genuine healing. They can also serve as a way for anyone seeking to explore the layers of their own ego and understand themselves on a deeper level.

But as we know, society and cultures often treat altered states of mind as something dangerous, when in reality, they are among humanity’s oldest pathways to growth, connection, and awakening.

DoubleBlind

DoubleBlind is a biannual print magazine and media company covering timely, untold stories about the expansion of psychedelics around the globe. We listen to everyone, from the indigenous communities, who have preserved these medicines for millennia, to the people in our society who most need access to healing, and those who embark on journeys for just plain fun. We go everywhere, from the ayahuasca tourism industry in Peru to laboratories at leading universities. The conversation doesn’t end there. Psychedelics—as the first class of drugs that heal through inspiring mystical experiences—hold the potential to shift how the Western medical community perceives wellness more broadly. We cover that too.

„Dazu gibt es einen interessanten Bericht aus den USA. Ein Neonazi meldete sich freiwillig für eine Studie, in der untersucht werden sollte, wie #MDMA das Wohlbefinden bei Berührungen verändert. MDMA, auch als #Ecstasy bekannt, ist eine der wenigen Drogen auf der Welt, die Empathie fördern. Er nahm also an dieser Studie teil, in der es gar nicht um seine rechtsextremen Einstellungen ging, und kam trotzdem völlig wesensverändert daraus hervor. Er bedankte sich bei den Wissenschaftlern, sagte, dass Liebe die Antwort auf alles sei, und identifizierte sich nicht mehr als Neonazi.“

Ok, also Ecstasy für alle? Oder zumindestens für #Nazis?

Edit: Das war kein ernstgemeinter Vorschlag. Siehe 2/.
