Psychedelic Culture
A psychedelic culture or the psychedelic community describes a set of shared attitudes, values, and principles characterizing the proper use of psychoactives whose primary action includes the alteration of cognitive and perceptive capabilities of the psyche or mind. A psychedelic culture encompasses a common view regarding the responsible use of psychoactive drugs that induce non-ordinary states of consciousness.

"The alliance of high technology and psychedelics might seem odd to those who remember the psychedelic culture of the late '60s, characterized by an antitechnological 'back to the land' philosophy and an attempt to return to tribally rooted lifestyles. The retrospective approach persists as an unmistakable thread in the increasingly varicolored tapestry of contemporary psychedelia, weaving images borne of widespread fascination with shamanic practices, organic psychedelics, and goddess-oriented post-feminist spirituality."
