“We have been witnessing a rebirth of psychedelic research since the early 2000s. Due to the fact we are in what many people call the Psychedelic Renaissance, one cannot help but draw comparisons to the European Renaissance that spanned the 15th and 16th centuries. An equally significant age, one that started around the same time and lasted another century or so, was the Age of Discovery. If we are in a Psychedelic Renaissance, and keeping in mind that history regularly repeats itself, it would be reasonable to assume that a parallel set of activities with matching enthusiasm will happen, what I call the Psychedelic Age of Discovery.”

“We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.”

“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
