We keep our jewelry, tabacco, and alcohol in elegant cases, so why not do the same for the plants and fungi that actually help us grow and become better versions of ourselves? Once worshipped across cultures, these compounds are now stashed away in sock drawers, shoeboxes, and ziplock bags, using subpar equipment that inadvertently perpetuates stigma and potentially risky use.

​There are still millions of us—professionals, students, doctors, and lawyers—intelligent adults who, in relative secrecy, safely use mind-expanding plants to reconnect with the astonishing reality beyond our ordinary senses. And despite scientific evidence suggesting the safe nature and positive impact of plant medicine when used responsibly, people tend to hide their use out of fear of unfair scrutiny, especially in the professional context.
