Seven Principles of a Psychonaut

Harm Reduction and Personal Safety

  • Prioritize safety by testing your substances and researching any substances you may be partaking.

  • Prepare your set (mindset), setting (environment), and have a guide or access to a helpline.

  • Consult a relevant healthcare professional, know your physical and/or mental limits, and always use psychedelics responsibly.

  • Approach these substances with respect as tools for growth, research, and exploration, not only recreational entertainment.

Do No Harm to Others

  • Never use psychedelics to manipulate or coerce others emotionally, mentally, physically or sexually.

  • Respect the boundaries and consent of others at all times, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.

Community and Connection

  • Foster a sense of community by supporting each other through shared experiences and challenges.

  • Share knowledge, insights, and resources openly and respectfully to strengthen the collective.

Diversity and Inclusion

  • Embrace diversity by recognizing and valuing different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.

  • Acknowledge that while the effects of these substances vary for each individual, all journeys are valid and meaningful.

Ego Awareness

  • Recognize psychedelics as tools for exploration, not as means to glorify one's ego or promote personal deification.

  • Focus on self-discovery while respecting the paths and beliefs of others without judgment.

Integration and Reflection

  • Take time to integrate psychedelic experiences into daily life through reflection, journaling, therapy, or group discussions.

  • Use insights gained to foster personal growth, improve relationships, and contribute positively to your community.

Advocacy and Education

  • Work to de-stigmatize psychedelics through advocacy, education, and open dialogue.

  • Share evidence-based information to counter myths and misconceptions while respecting legal and cultural boundaries.

Yes but you are defining a word, a hobby, an identity. Not what this sub is about.

The word has been in usage for awhile. I'm not defining the word.

Dude, you are straight up gatekeeping and power tripping now.

I will not be responding to this again and that does not mean I am agreeing with the bs
