Decriminalize the use of Psychedelics / Entheogens for Mental Health Research In India
Why this petition matters
There has been a rise of Mental Health illness in India & epidemic is further increasing, with no avail of recovery or knowledge. Human history of the use of Entheogens/ Psychedelics have been present in Hindu Vedic Scriptures. With recent studies, Psychedelics, like Psilocybin Mushrooms, which grow natural in India, have had an incredible recovery rate at 80%.
Institutes should be allowed to research these Entheogens which grow in India. To overcome an pandemic that would future dip our social & economical situation.
To the India Ministers for Drug Policy and Mental Health, 400 million people suffer from depression & anxiety in India. Research has shown the potential of psilocybin to treat these conditions. yet it is being hindered by the restrictive Schedule 1 status of the substance. Out of compassion for those suffering from depression & anxiety, we ask that you take immediate action to reschedule psilocybin & other Entheogens
India has been far lead in Plant Medicines, with hundreds of years of knowledge. Since The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985
(India) has hindered the future of growth of India, both Mentally & Spiritually
