The Psychedelic Renaissance

The medicinal potential of psychedelic substances has rekindled scientific interest in the last three decades, this period have been colloquially referred to as "The Psychedelic Renaissance".

It is now widely accepted in the scientific community that the reasoning behind the criminalisation was erroneous, many pointing to the Nixon administration’s reactions to the anti-war and civil rights movements.
