“…we should be mindful of the significant distorting effect created by #Prohibition: in most jurisdictions from which our current understanding of the #politicsofpsychedelics is drawn, these are largely still banned substances. That many of the political expressions of #psychedelicexperience under these conditions may seem ‘#extreme’ is to be expected, since the majority of the population does not wilfully defy the law or cavort in cavalier fashion with what doctors still mainly tell them are drugs fraught with danger: drug use under Prohibition has always been the pursuit of a small minority, whose defiance of the law is inimical to the consensual centre-ground and whose #radicalism (part of their “set”) we should expect to be amplified by the use of #psychedelics.

However, this tells us little about the likely political ramifications of a future mainstreaming of psychedelics, with the easing of Prohibition.”

“This article liberates discussion of the #politicsofPsychedelics from its present impasse. Across ten theses, it asserts that #psychedelics are interruptive #deautomating political technologies, which makes them conducive to democratic politics, in the radical sense: rather than consolidating liberal-democratic systems of representative or managed democracy, #psychedelicexperience tends to open such regimes up to the ferment of radical #democracy. To conceptualise the political ramifications of psychedelics requires that #psychedelicmysticism and the phenomenology of psychedelic experience be reconceived in ways which give due recognition to their embodied, agential and politically potentiating dimensions, which involves correcting restrictively neuro-centric conceptions of psychedelic mysticism and expanding incomplete phenomenologies. It further requires that the “deautomating” dimensions of psychedelic experience be conceptualised alongside an analysis of the prevailing anti-democratic forces of automation, administrative reason and computationalist abstraction.”

"Purple Haze" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and released as the second single by #theJimiHendrixExperience on March 17, 1967, in the United Kingdom. The song features his inventive guitar playing, which uses the signature #HendrixChord and a mix of blues and Eastern modalities, shaped by novel sound processing techniques. Because of ambiguities in the lyrics, listeners often interpret the song as referring to a #psychedelicExperience.
