My Nonprofit Reviews

I knew nothing about psychedelics before coming to the World Psychedelic Forum in Basel in 2008. Like millions of other people I did not know the difference between opiates and psychedelics. I thought of them as addictive 'drugs' we all should avoid. I was not aware of the fact that for almost four decades there was no government approved (as far as we know) research in psychedelics and that such private research was actively discouraged. I was so impressed by the presentations at The Forum, that I started read whatever I could find on the subject. I found how psychedelics used by professionals in controlled environment can help people with psychological problems, how they can help humanity to grow spiritually. I considered myself educated open-minded person and I am very angry with myself that for almost 6 decades of my life I never questioned what I read in the newspapers. I love growing plants and I am disgusted with various 'laws' that criminalise some of them. I am not happy that even at 60+ I am treated as if incapable of making decisions about my life. I was very lucky to spend two years in Holland, where I could grow on my windowsill beautiful Salvia Divinorum, Datura and several cacti (from seed!). MAPS gives me hope for the future of humanity where there will no barriers to search for scientific knowledge.
