Synopsis

Essays on the history of psychedelics, the present renaissance, and visions for an inclusive and equitable future.
As psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapies explode into the popular consciousness, what does it mean to cultivate and embody a psychedelic renaissance that learns from the past and prepares for the future? 
From cultural appropriation and sustainability to diversity, inclusion and venture capitalism, Psychedelic Justice: Toward a Diverse and Equitable Psychedelic Culture examines the history of psychedelics, celebrates its present moment and contemplates how advocates and policymakers can shape the future integration of psychedelics into general society.
An anthology of essays written for the Chacruna Institute and edited by its co-founders Bia Labate, Ph.d, and Clancy Cavnar, Psy.D, Psychedelic Justice highlights the need for an inclusionary, societal-level approach to the psychedelic renaissance. In addition to psychedelics and drug policy, works in this book examine psychedelics in the contexts of capitalism, Indigenous traditions, reciprocity, sustainability, mental health, diversity, sex, power, and more. 
A mirror of the vision for a more inclusive psychedelic future, Psychedelic Justice highlights voices that have been long marginalized in Western psychedelic culture: women, queer people, people of color, and Indigenous people. Essay authors include Labate, Cavnar, Belina Eracho, MPH, Bill Brennan, Ph.D (C), NiCole T. Buchanan, Ph.D, Erika Dyck, Ph.D, Jeanna Eichenbaum, LCSW, Sean Lawler, MFA,  Monnica T. Williams, Ph.D, ABPP and more.
With a focus on radical cultural transformation as the guiding force behind visionary social change and the future of psychedelics, Psychedelic Justice: Toward a Diverse and Equitable Psychedelic Culture, is a guide for a more inclusive and equitable tomorrow.

Those were the days when I smoked marijuana mostly in Ann Arbor Michigan. But this book helped me realize that psychedelic drugs can be v......more

As is tradition with anthologies it was hit and miss. Some pieces offered a truly critical understanding or explorative framework of a tension within the psychedelic culture. Whilst others were rather dull and repetitive. Could be because some are purely academic or for folks otherwise professionally......more

Like many collections I found that I enjoyed some articles more than others, but overall it was an interesting book. I personally found the sections about psychedelic capitalism and conversion therapy for LGBT+ people the most interesting. For someone based in the UK I found it very focused on the A......more
