Yes. This is the truth I felt, but didn’t know how to put words to. I have felt the corruption of plant medicines and had started to put psychedelics aside without fully understanding the why behind it, but knowing it had been corrupted somehow. And yet I also felt the conflict of how to put light on that shadow, knowing the plant medicines hold so much value for a large swath of people disenchanted with the world of pills and cutting and burning involved in western medicine modality. Thank you for putting this shadow to light. Amen

Here's to getting "spicy," Shira! This is all spot on, we've known it, we know it. Everything and anything can be hijacked by ego, by Wetiko, by fixation. From puppies and rainbows to spirituality and plant medicine - here we are. There are true practitioners of all the arts, and those who are willing to see, name, and face shadow are among them. Goddess bless you and keep on writing!
