Abstract

The article focuses on the need for equitable collaboration in psychedelic science, emphasizing the contributions of Indigenous Peoples in the cultivation and stewardship of psychoactive medicines. It highlights that these communities have historically been marginalized in scientific discourse despite their extensive knowledge and practices involving substances like ayahuasca, psilocybin, peyote, and iboga. The research advocates for embedding Indigenous sovereignty, cultural rights, and informed consent into research and policy, calling for meaningful collaboration that respects Indigenous leadership. The study concludes that such inclusive practices are essential for the effective healing potential of these medicines. [Extracted from the article]
