A commitment to ethical leadership in psychedelics

As a leader in the psychedelic community I pledge to...
1. Start Within
I pledge to ground my work in the field with work on myself, and to treat personal growth as a lifelong process.
2. Study The Traditions
I pledge to grow my knowledge of the history of psychedelics and their many traditions of use, in a good-faith effort to appreciate both the potential of these substances and the conflict and complexity surrounding them.
3. Build Trust
I pledge to invest in building trust in my relationships across the psychedelic field, and repair trust where possible.
4. Consider The Gravity
I pledge to consider the implications of the choices that I make, understanding the potential consequences of unethical behavior to individuals, communities, and the psychedelic field at large.
5. Focus On Process
I pledge to make the process as important as the outcome, letting the future I hope to see guide the approach I take in getting there.
6. Create Equality and Justice
I pledge to actively take steps to make the world more equitable and just.
7. Pay It Forward
I pledge to support the flourishing of the psychedelic field and the communities in which I work, and to give back should my work lead to personal gain.
