  Recent neuroimaging studies of the psychedelic state have ... been reviewed and their results found to be non-trivial to reconcile with ... generic implications of physicalism.

• Sam Harris: Drugs and the Meaning of Life

  While human beings have ingested plant-based psychedelics for millennia, scientific research on these compounds did not begin until the 1950’s. By 1965, a thousand studies had been published, primarily on psilocybin and LSD, many of which attested to the usefulness of psychedelics in the treatment of clinical depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), alcohol addiction, and the pain and anxiety associated with terminal cancer. Within a few years, however, this entire field of research was abolished in an effort to stem the spread of these drugs among the general public. After a hiatus that lasted an entire generation, scientific research on the pharmacology and therapeutic value of psychedelics has quietly resumed.

  Rather the "pardon" should be sought by the U.S. govt., the DEA and all the mentally twisted and benighted "drug warriors" for depriving humanity for half a century of valuable tools for use in psychotherapy, as well as for depriving individuals who wish to use psychedelic substances to further their spiritual development of the opportunity to do so without fear of being arrested and locked up.

We appreciate, study, and educate others about plants and mushrooms that are felt to be significant to cultural integrity and spiritual well-being.

  Psychedelics have been widely used for thousands of years nearly everywhere on the planet. Psychoactive plants have been central to most ancient sacred rituals and primitive medical treatments. They have been worshipped in all cultures as "Plants of the Gods" and considered as mediators between human beings and the universe, linking the physical to the spiritual dimensions of existence.

  While psychedelics are demonized and repressed in the US today, the visionary compounds found in plants are the spiritual sacraments of tribal cultures around the world. From the Bwiti in Gabon to the Secoya in Ecuador, the psychedelic plants are sacred because they awaken the mind to other levels of awareness. They are gateways to a spiritual — or multi-dimensional, or holographic — vision of the universe.
