1. General Disclaimer / Notice.
PSYCHEDELICS AND SACRED PLANT MEDICINES ARE POWERFUL TOOLS AND ARE NOT APPROPRIATE OR SAFE FOR EVERYONE. THEIR EFFECTS CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN USED IRRESPONSIBLY OR WITHOUT PROPER PREPARATION AND INTEGRATION.
2. Educational Purpose Only
We do not promote, condone, or encourage the recreational, careless, or unlawful use of psychedelic
substances. We are educators and advocates who offer guidance, frameworks, and resources to support those who have already made a personal decision to explore these substances. Our materials are designed to foster safe, mindful, and respectful engagement - when and if a person freely chooses to work with psychedelics for personal healing, transformation, or consciousness expansion.
3. Personal Choice and Responsibility
IF YOU CHOOSE TO MICRODOSE OR WORK WITH PSYCHEDELICS IN ANY FORM, YOU ARE DOING SO BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL AND INFORMED CHOICE. This decision should not be interpreted as being influenced or recommended by JCF. You are solely responsible for understanding the legal, physical, and psychological risks involved.
4. Medical & Legal Disclaimer
JCF IS NOT A MEDICAL PROVIDER. WE ARE NOT LICENSED DOCTORS, PSYCHOLOGISTS OR THERAPISTS. NONE OF THE INFORMATION SHARED SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR USED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, PREVENT, OR CURE ANY CONDITION.

5. Legal Considerations
The use, possession, and distribution of many psychedelics remain illegal under Canadian and U.S. federal law, as well as in many other jurisdictions around the world, except in narrowly defined circumstances (e.g., research trials, religious exemptions). YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING AND COMPLYING WITH THE LAWS OF YOUR LOCATION OR JURISDICTION. We encourage caution and legal discernment at all times. YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICES AND ANY OUTCOMES RELATED TO THOSE CHOICES.
6. Use Intentionally and Respectfully
We encourage all who choose to engage with psychedelics to do so with humility, reverence, and
Intentionality.
- Psychedelics are not a "quick fix."
- Overuse or misuse can lead to psychological harm.
- Sometimes, less is more.
- If you are considering working with psychedelics, consider your set and setting and prioritize your plant medicine integration.
We do not recommend the use of ayahuasca, Iboga, or 5-MeO-DMT alone or outside of a qualified,
supported container. These substances should only be approached with an experienced, trained guide, shaman, or facilitator.
