The War on Drugs and Psychedelics
One Woman’s Path for Healing and Justice with Ifetayo Harvey and Sonia Stringer
Many of us are familiar with President Nixon’s so called “war on drugs” instituted in the 1970’s, which not only sidelined promising psychedelic research, but since then has disproportionately incarcerated mass numbers of people for simple drug use and possession, especially people of color.
What you may not be as familiar with are the specific ways in which the family members of those targeted by the war on drugs have been impacted by these dated and unfair policies.
In this episode, Ifetayo shares from her personal experience the price that families pay when the people they love are incarcerated.
In her own words, “What a parent goes to prison, their family and community goes as well”.
In this heart-felt interview, you’ll discover:
How her father’s incarceration impacted her family and community and shaped her from a young age
The role psychedelics have played in her healing journey
The “race problem” she sees in the psychedelic community, and what specific steps can lead to greater access and healing for people of color wanting to benefit from psychedelic therapy
How the “People of Color Psychedelic Alliance” is providing invaluable education regarding the risks / benefits of psychedelics and engaging people to help end the war on drugs
You’ll leave this session with an expanded and perhaps more nuanced understanding of the true impact of the war on drugs in America.
