Thanks a most interesting read. Psychedelics in indigenous cultures are known as 'teacher plants' and their use is tightly regimented via shamans rituals and so on.

These are cultures which will still be around long after techno liberal humanist capitalism has crashed and burned.

Thank for writing this. As a mom who saved her daughter from the genderborg. I appreciate you!

I am California flower child. My mom a hippie artist. Drugs were always being used around me. My step dad lived at the Timothy Leary house for a while. Because getting high was so common in my up bringing in the 70s.

I experimented with LSD as a teenager and early 20s I also did mushrooms. I can say without a shadow of a doubt they did nothing to expand my mind. Because of my experience. I would never recommend anyone taking them. I also smoked pot daily since my teen years. I have been pot sober for 9 years. I read a book called The Presence Process. I think helped me find peace with reality. Not having to live in an altered state has been amazing. The thought of the continued use of psychedelics in gender or anywhere is concerning.
