"I stand here invoking the hard won right of freedom of speech
To call for and demand another right to be recognised and that is the right of adult sovereignty over consciousness.

There's a war on consciousness in our society and if we, as adults are not allowed to make sovereign decisions about what to experience with our own consciousness while doing no harm to others including the decision to use responsibly ancient and sacred visionary plants then we cannot claim to be free in any way and it's useless for our society to go around the world imposing our form of democracy on others while we nourish this rot at the heart of society.

And if we do not allow individual freedom over consciousness, it may even be that we're denying ourselves the next vital step in our own evolution by allowing the state of affairs to continue
And who knows perhaps our immortal destiny as well."

- Graham Hancock
