Carla Higdon will be deeply missed
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of our dear friend Carla Higdon. There are few people who so deeply touched the lives of as many members of the psychedelic community as Carla did.
I first heard about Carla in the summer of 1997 when she joined the staff of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). Carla concluded her initial column in the MAPS bulletin with the following statement:
I am truly delighted to be at MAPS and have the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of medical marijuana and psychedelic research. The systematic banning of psychedelics in the United States and around the world is, in my opinion, one of the great shortcomings of modern culture. How much more arduous is the quest for our divine origins without legal access to these tools that allow us a window of opportunity to glimpse our own perfection. In my own experience, psychedelics have been a source of wonder, wisdom, and growth, a sacred gift to take along on the long journey of life.
Carla's friends from all around the world must now come to terms with the loss of this great soul. It is very difficult to imagine not seeing Carla at the next conference, or at Burning Man, or at the next fund raiser for a Tribal cause. We will miss you, lovely Carla, but may the new journey you have just begun be filled with wonder, magic, and joy.
