Researchers theorize that systemic inequality will affect the entire relationship that people have with psychedelics, both upstream before use and downstream after use. Specifically, while initial researchers proposed that cultural conditions could affect the perceptions of psychedelics during use, the modified theory suggests that structural inequalities could also affect access to other resources or exposure to trauma/stress post psychedelic use which more quickly diminishes the efficacy of the drugs… positive social integration has long been recognized as a critical component of the psychedelic experience by both clinical and cultural researchers. The success of psychedelics relies on the positive meaning-making that occurs in these socially controlled situations…
