Psychedelic Injustice: How Identity Politics Poisons the Psychedelic Renaissance

Psychedelic Injustice brings two once-separate culture wars? critical social justice and mainstreaming psychedelia? into focus and explores how the rhetoric of the former hinders the promise of the latter.  Much as we see in the larger mainstream culture, the impact of critical social justice within psychedelia has resulted in falling academic standards, name-calling, bullying, and ostracizing anyone who does not submit to ? approved? critical social justice rhetoric.    Dealing with three broad social topics (decolonization, race, and gender),  Psychedelic Injustice  questions the very institutions (within and without psychedelia) that push divisive narratives while also imploring a message of hope and unity in the psychedelic Renaissance.  Psychedelic Injustice is not a ? call out? ? rather, it is a call to unity. Through personal experiences, rigorous scholarship, and an eye for nuance,  Psychedelic Injustice  serves as a much-needed and long-overdue counterpoint to the highly questionable, disunifying narratives found throughout modern psychedelia.
