People of all colors..
1- The intentionally divisive framing of this title does no favors to anyone. EVERYBODY should have access to psychedelics; it's not a racialized thing, so please don't make it one. Psychedelic traditions exist all around the world, in all races. Said differently, ALL PEOPLE ARE WELCOME IN THE PSYCHEDELIC COMMUNITY AND ALL PEOPLE'S HISTORIES ARE CONNECTED TO IT. Please stop with the woke pandering, we are a singular humanity.
2- People of color have as much access as everyone else does right now; it's not the psychedelics that are expensive, it's the therapy. Lets not conflate "psychedelics" with "psychedelic therapy". Lets also not conflate "people of color" with "people in poverty", which is a sly use of language and condescension that belies the reality. Psychedelics on the whole are affordable and pretty easily accessible. People of color can already get them.
People Should Have Access to Psychedelics. Stop excluding everyone else. unsubscribed.
Psychs are cheap and easily available for everyone if they go online and are willing to skirt the law. No color barriers. Maybe people of color should buy psychs and use them more. How many black people in jail for just shrooms or lsd? I buy my psychedelics online or from a store with my bankcard here in Vancouver. No racial barriers.
