Humans have utilized psychedelics for over 3,000 years. Historically, they were incorporated into various cultural practices: as [[Soma]] in India, [[Peyote]] among the Navajo, and [[Kykeon]] in the ancient Greek city of Eleusis. However, since the early 1970s, these substances have been mired in [[War on Drugs|taboo]]. Today, we're witnessing a renewed interest in these compounds, often referred to as "[[The Psychedelic Renaissance]]." Current research indicates that they may be among the safest and most potent treatments for a range of mental health issues. | |||
