An open letter to the newly founded Center for Psychedelic Research at Johns Hopkins
Communal needs have never been freely met by elite actors. It is of vital importance to recognize that this moment in time is not a unique aberration, but is intimately tied to that which came before; the past does not pass. This includes the harms that go unacknowledged and the systemic problems that “psychedelic leaders” seem unwilling or unable – as of yet – to address.
Consider the advances of the civil rights movement, the women’s rights movement, the labor movement, the abolitionist movement, or countless other struggles for human rights. It should be clear that the victories and concessions they achieved were won through the efforts of ordinary people working together to challenge the systemic oppression of dominant culture.
