Abstract
Psychedelics have been shown to play an influential role in human history, have continued to impact our lives in the present day, and have demonstrated a high potential to become a larger part of our lives in the future. From ancient civilizations to the present day, these substances have been used for spiritual, medicinal, and cultural purposes. Despite the current cautious perception of psychedelics, they have the potential to have a positive impact on our society through their use in medicine and have begun to turn the corner from their prohibition, turning into a more useful substance for human use. As our understanding of these substances continues to evolve, it is important to consider their past and potential future use in a broader context. With further research and an open mind, psychedelics may hold the key to unlocking new avenues of knowledge and understanding.
