About PIR Publications

PIR Publications is the literary and media home of Psychedelics in Recovery—a space dedicated to exploring the evolving relationship between psychedelics, recovery, healing, science, spirituality, and lived experience. It exists to hold inquiry rather than certainty, dialogue rather than doctrine, and depth rather than easy answers.

The field of psychedelics in recovery is not singular or settled. It is layered with paradox, shaped by personal history, cultural context, clinical research, spiritual frameworks, skepticism, hope, harm reduction, and ethical tension. PIR Publications was created to reflect that reality honestly. Our books, articles, videos, and research materials often speak from different—sometimes contrasting—perspectives. These perspectives may challenge one another, sit in creative tension, or raise unresolved questions. That diversity is not a flaw of the field; it is one of its defining characteristics.

For this reason, publication within PIR does not imply endorsement of every viewpoint by the broader PIR community, its leadership, or its contributors. Individual works represent the perspectives, experiences, research, and interpretations of their authors. We believe thoughtful disagreement, respectful critique, and pluralistic dialogue are essential to responsible inquiry—especially in a domain where science, consciousness, trauma, culture, and meaning intersect.

PIR Publications welcomes clinicians and researchers alongside people in recovery, harm reduction advocates, spiritual practitioners, skeptics, historians, and those who are simply curious. Some works are empirical and data-driven; others are narrative, reflective, or exploratory. Some approach recovery through clinical models; others through spiritual or existential lenses. Many wrestle openly with contradiction—acknowledging both potential and risk, healing and harm, insight and illusion.

At its core, PIR Publications affirms that curiosity can coexist with caution, that lived experience deserves a voice alongside research, and that no single framework can fully contain the complexity of psychedelic experience or recovery. We publish not to close conversations, but to deepen them—to offer material that invites reflection, discernment, and ongoing learning.

Whether you are a member of the recovery community, a clinician or researcher, a student, or someone standing at the edge of curiosity, PIR Publications is an invitation: to read carefully, think critically, hold nuance, and remain open to complexity in a field that resists simple answers.
