Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Political turmoil led to the halt of medical research into hallucinogens, yet efforts are now underway to begin exploring their therapeutic properties following a pathway created by cannabis. However, as hallucinogens are gaining traction as potentially untapped therapeutic avenues for illnesses like anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, comes the risk of endangering or altering centuries-long indigenous use. An Equitable High seeks to examine the history of psychedelic drugs while evaluating avenues to provide equal access and adequate protections for indigenous communities as legalization and monetization efforts surrounding hallucinogens grows.
