Public legal proceedings form a foundational part of a free society, but PACER is paywalled and the interface likely literally built in the mid 1990s, but luckily these folks are here to help and make what should be public and freely accessible actually public and freely accessible.

A society that purports to be free cannot at the same time create a permanent underclass by law and create a shadow detention system to detain them, specifically outside of a criminal context, and openly skirting the Constitution. Immigrants are not a problem, they are simply members of the communities we live in, and share our common human values, but 150 years of racist laws can't be reversed in one go. And organizations that are dedicated to serve the most invisible of our society are the noblest of them all, one client at a time.

The Constitution only works if everyone in the country can equally access and enjoy the protection it provides. Yet, a particularly glaring hole in equal access remains - largely in minority, marginalized, and immigrant communities, who are disproportionately denied their 2nd Amendment rights even though they are also the population that can count on authorities the least in providing protection. While the Wayne LaPierre is spending membership dues on yacht trips and private jets, the SAF is going to court, and winning. It's a thankless field of law, but Constitutional principles are so often discarded by so many who used to pay lip service, it says a lot when an organization is fighting for equal access on principle, no matter which party is in office. 

Because we've lost decades of research on effective treatments for pain, depression, and PTSD to anti-drug hysteria.

Their lawyers are leading the challenges against everything from qualified immunity to civil asset forfeiture. Talk is cheap, representation is expensive, and it is what they do.

I feel somewhat guilty for turning down a 3L externship here, they do invaluable, tip-of-the-spear work for people whose rights have been utterly trampled on, over the arbitrary happenstance of one's place of birth.

The hardest legal job in the country, against the greatest odds, for the most marginalized people.

MAPS works towards a post-prohibition world by advancing research, changing policies, and shaping culture. 

Since our founding in 1986, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has been the leading organization building the movement to foster evidence-based approaches to psychedelics and the people who use them. When used safely and responsibly, psychedelics have the potential to promote personal growth and well-being and treat various mental health conditions. Three pillars guide our efforts: advancing research, changing policies, and shaping culture. 

[Advancing Research](https://maps.org/advancing-research/)

MAPS spent decades developing MDMA-assisted therapy for the clinical utilization of psychedelic-assisted therapies. With the road paved for the next generation of research and drug development, MAPS now stewards the research landscape we helped cultivate.

We are dedicated to fostering new research directions that prioritize public benefit, supporting international researchers and pilot programs, and ensuring the accessibility and culturally appropriate integration of psychedelics as a tool for individual and community wellness. We center research that contributes to knowledge in the public domain.

[Changing Policy](https://maps.org/changing-policy/)

The cultivation, use, and trade of psychoactive substances — including psychedelics — has been a consistent aspect of human history, but prohibition, criminalization, and militarization — and their inherent oppression — have led to drastic consequences. The ongoing, global War on Drugs has been justified by bad science, racism, and fear for too long: it has led to mass incarceration; erosion of civil liberties; ecological damage; economic waste; and the public health polycrisis of adulteration, poisoning, and overdose. Many of these harmful effects have disproportionately impacted the most historically exploited and oppressed communities. Consequently, we believe societies worldwide have an obligation to account for and repair those harms, to the extent possible. 

MAPS envisions a post-prohibition future based on Consciousness, not Criminalization.

[Shaping Culture](https://maps.org/shaping-culture/)

For psychedelics to be most safely integrated into society, we need to be honest about the implications. MAPS recognizes the importance of a comprehensive understanding of their risks and potential benefits, teaching people how to navigate altered states of consciousness and how policies impact individuals and communities. 

We create cutting-edge education for professionals and the public, provide expert support for the psychedelic and drug policy movement, and convene people who share our vision—all to lay the groundwork and create the guardrails necessary for responsible social transformation. 

As psychedelics become more mainstream and an increasing number of people seek to use them for healing and personal growth, we are more dedicated than ever to making resources available for people and communities to safely and responsibly integrate psychedelics into medical, legal, and spiritual contexts.
