„Population studies show that approximately 5-6 percent of the adult population in the Czech Republic has experience with classical psychedelics. There has been a lot of media coverage of psychedelics recently, with new books being published, documentaries and Netflix series appearing, which is certainly contributing to a greater interest in these substances and probably to an increase in their use in a recreational context. However, we will have to wait for the actual data from the last few years.“

„But history shows that people have been using psychoactive substances since time immemorial and will continue to do so. The war on drugs has cost society a huge amount of money and many lives. A more balanced approach is therefore beginning to be advocated that takes into account the complexity and reality of human behaviour and experience. Some countries around the world have already begun to remove psychedelics from the most strictly controlled category, especially for medicinal use. It is slow going, but a steady shift is taking place.“

„Harm reduction, or risk reduction, is based on the assumption that although it would be ideal not to use any substances, the reality is different, as we have already said. And if a person decides to use a psychedelic substance, they should have at least the basic knowledge and tools to do so as safely as possible.“

„I believe that within a few years psychedelics will become a normal part of the mental health care system – at least in the health sector.“
