Psychedelics have been used recreationally, relegiously and ethically since their discovery and the efficacy and potential for benefit and research of consciousness and a number of key mental health areas far outweighs the punishments and threats to culture and people that has been proliferated by the war on drugs. 
in fact an open discussion and unbiased approach to the use of psychedelic would prove to remove the threats and enhance the safety of their use within a specialised environment which caters to proper use and exploration of these chemicals.

there exists notable evidence to suggest that its ethical use can bring about fundamental change in a human being. providing a vast number of benefits and increased clarity on matters both philosophical, spiritual, psychological and physical. 

we ought not to prosecute the potential gain New Zealanders and people globally could experience if the proper protocols were setup for others to benefit from and expansion and greater awareness on the profits that could proliferate as a result of decriminalisation and effective study into their use.

a decrease in overall suffering is the aim of this petition and an openness to the rational scientific exploration of these chemicals is the goal

We must cross the borders of criminalizing the ability to explore the human condition under altered states.
