Robert Forte has traveled the psychedelic path over the past 45 years, an adventure in consciousness that has taken him to very far and deeply personal realms. He has been a student, a researcher, a producer and a distributor of forbidden drugs, taught at university and graduate level. Robert has done field work in South America and had close personal relationships with many of the most significant instigators of the various psychedelic movements of our time. He considers that it is time we cultivate discernment of these several movements and to move the beneficent properties and effects of these drugs to the fore, while we separate ourselves from those who exploit them for deceptive or nefarious agendas.
