Humans and animals have used mind-altering substances for centuries for spiritual and healing purposes. With the war on drugs launching during Nixon's presidency, his administration banned these substances, and users criminalized them. The war on drugs is responsible for the disproportionate incarceration of Black and Latinx people. In the past decade, psychedelics have gained attention in the mainstream for their healing potential. Often, psychedelics are compared to antidepressants and juxtaposed as a better, more improved version of their pharmaceutical counterparts. Yet, is healing that simple? In this course, panelists will discuss the promises and pitfalls of psychedelic healing for trauma. How can psychedelics help heal trauma, and what else is needed to support those seeking healing? What are the risks associated with psychedelic use?
