Dear readers,
I created Psychoactive for good people—and for the good in people—as a small, self-sustaining, independent platform where quality scholarship is prioritized, claims are carefully cited, and topics are explored with nuance.
Our Commitments:
Prioritize quality scholarship with a focus on originality, value, and clarity, and not only join the conversation but also evolve discourse in the field.
Explore the implications of psychedelics beyond mental health, including creative fields, scientific innovation, engineering, and various professional disciplines.
Ensure thorough interpretations by:
- synthesizing multiple sources,
- carefully verifying citations,
- leveraging years of immersion in psychedelic literature
- seeking clarification and insight by contacting researchers, and
- staying current with respected journals and investigators while remaining open to insights from lesser-known sources.
Remain anchored in science, and discuss spirituality using psychological and medical lenses.
Deliver compact, concise content without over-editorializing or word-count padding.
Strive to continuously improve our writing craft, to maximize the value and accuracy of our work, and always remain open to feedback.
Aside from asserting the fundamental human right to cognitive liberty, we do not engage in political, racial, or ideological discussion or discrimination of any kind.
For the love of all that is good and great,
Eric M. Fortier
