The resurgence of Western psychedelic research and practice has led to increasing concerns from many Indigenous Nations regarding cultural appropriation, lack of recognition of the sacred cultural positioning of these medicines, exclusionary practices in research and praxis, and patenting of traditional medicines. Indigenous voices and leadership have been notably absent from the Western psychedelic field currently widely represented by Westerners. An Indigenous-led globally represented group of practitioners, activists, scholars, lawyers, and human rights defenders came together with the purpose of formulating a set of ethical guidelines concerning traditional Indigenous medicines current use in Western psychedelic research and practice. A global Indigenous consensus process of knowledge-gathering was engaged which identified eight interconnected ethical principles, including: Reverence, Respect, Responsibility, Relevance, Regulation, Reparation, Restoration, and Reconciliation. A summary of the work is presented here with suggested ethical actions for moving forward within Western psychedelic research and practice spaces.
西方迷幻药研究与实践的复兴引发了许多原住民群体的日益担忧,涉及文化挪用、对这些药物神圣文化定位的忽视、研究与实践中的排他性做法以及传统药物的专利问题。在目前由西方人广泛代表的西方迷幻药领域,明显缺乏原住民的声音和领导力。一群由原住民主导、具有全球代表性的从业者、活动家、学者、律师和人权捍卫者齐聚一堂,旨在制定一套关于传统原住民药物在西方迷幻药研究与实践中当前使用的伦理准则。开展了一个全球原住民知识收集共识过程,确定了八项相互关联的伦理原则,包括:崇敬、尊重、责任、相关性、监管、赔偿、恢复和和解。本文介绍了这项工作的总结以及在西方迷幻药研究与实践领域推进的建议伦理行动。
