The Cognitive Freedom Initiative
A comprehensive, statewide initiative aimed at authorizing and regulating the cultivation, production, processing, and distribution of entheogenic plants and substances in California in 2024!
Dear Reader,
I am writing to invite you to read over The Cognitive Freedom Initiative and provide your valuable feedback. As you may already know, there is a growing movement across the United States to legalize entheogenic plants and substances for personal, medical, therapeutic, religious, spiritual, and recreational use. The Cognitive Freedom Initiative is a comprehensive, statewide initiative aimed at authorizing and regulating the cultivation, production, processing, and distribution of entheogenic plants and substances in California.
While we are unsure of what will happen with SB-58 here in California, we want to be prepared with an initiative that will provide comprehensive protections for individuals who wish to use entheogenic plants and substances for various purposes. The Cognitive Freedom Initiative is a step towards a more just and compassionate approach to drug policy that acknowledges the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of these substances.
We believe that everyone has the right to cognitive freedom – the ability to explore the depths of their consciousness without fear of legal repercussions. By legalizing entheogenic plants and substances, we can ensure that people can access these powerful tools in a safe and responsible manner. Moreover, we can reduce the harm caused by the criminalization of these substances, which has resulted in the unjust imprisonment of countless individuals and the perpetuation of systemic racism.
We would love to hear your thoughts on The Cognitive Freedom Initiative. Please share the initiative with your friends, family, and colleagues, and let us know if you are interested in organizing around it in your city or county. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of people across California.
We will be discussing this initiative in person the Spirituality and Beyond III April 8,9 in person at The Midway in San Francisco.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Reggie Harris

the legislative aids in CO seems to have left out what is important in wrding legislation:
is there 'no way' to keep big pharma, multinationals, deep pockets OUT of this? Can government do ANYTHING w/o its moneyed interests as consultants and lobbyists (ne`: campaign contributions) ?
Is the past (not just the cannabis "industry") not on the mind of our society? I'd say "No, it is not" (just see the current degradation of the planet). Please, whoever reads this, do what you can to keep this type of system from framing the oh so important narrative developing now... as so goes the opening in the larger roll out of healing, traditional folk-ways (our culture), spiritual practice which is so sorely needed.
Let's hope Cali can go one step better.
