“Psychedelics for Climate Action” (Tripping in Church of Climate)

“Personally, when I take mushrooms, the last thing I want to do is think about climate change. But that’s apparently what I should be doing, according to … Psychedelics for Climate Action.” (Emily Atkin, Heated)

At the anti-fossil-fuel Substack Heated, Emily Atkin outdid herself. “I fell down the rabbit hole of Psychedelics for Climate Action,” she confessed. “Then I came back to reality.” She continued:

Personally, when I take mushrooms, the last thing I want to do is think about climate change. 

But that’s apparently what I should be doing, according to a new advocacy group. Psychedelics for Climate Action, or PSYCA, argues that the use of mind-altering substances and Indigenous plant medicines—like ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, ketamine, and LSD—can inspire people to help solve the climate crisis. 

PSYCA held its official launch at the Psychedelic Assembly in New York City last month. I decided to attend, because frankly, I’ve been pretty bummed out about the state of the world lately. I figured at the very least, going to this would be fun. 

It was—but it was also genuinely thought-provoking. So today, I’m going to tell you how I fell down the rabbit hole of tripping balls for the planet—and how I ultimately came back to reality.

Crazy is as Crazy does…. Defacing Stonehenge. Throwing paint on museum masterpieces. Disrupting sporting events. Disrupting traffic.

Just Stop Oil members commit crime and get prison sentences. Justice served. Extinction Rebellion is now on notice too.

Final Comment

Emily Atkin faces a bleak outlook if she is at war against dense, reliable, affordable, consumer-driven, taxpayer-neutral, infrastructure-light, global-greening energies. And she is tripping to believe that industrial wind power, solar arrays, and battery packs are good for the environment.

It is past time for her to study the issues with an open mind toward human betterment. And then enter back to reality. And then fight back against the Climate Industrial Complex and the elitism behind it with her being a case study of reason over emotion.
