Abstract
Indigenous people have been stewards of sacred plant medicines for millennia. Many of these sacred medicines—such as tobacco, cedar, sage, sweetgrass, and more recently the ayahuasca admixture and psilocybin-containing fungi—have been commercialized via their entry into the global capitalist economy. In this article, we offer readers an introduction to Indigenous gift logic as an alternative to the necropolitics of colonial extraction associated with the contemporary psychedelic resurgence. Unlike barter or monetary-based economic systems, gift economies are based on the notion of gift giving without a tacit agreement for future reward. The logic of the gift goes beyond this accessible definition in that it underpins an episteme of relationality that is difficult (if not impossible) to nurture when our plant and fungal relations are treated as things or commodities, rather than lives with their own habits, dispositions, and agency. We offer suggestions for reorienting the psychedelic resurgence to create space for relational ontologies to flourish, indexed to place, and informed by Indigenous gift logic.照料一个充满活力的世界
几千年来，土著居民一直是神圣植物药物的管家。许多这些神圣的药物——如烟草、雪松、鼠尾草、甜草，以及最近的死藤水混合物和含有裸盖菇素的真菌——通过进入全球资本主义经济而被商业化。在这篇文章中，我们向读者介绍了土著礼物逻辑，作为与当代迷幻药复苏相关的殖民提取的死亡政治的替代方案。与物物交换或以货币为基础的经济系统不同，礼物经济是基于赠送礼物的概念，而不是基于对未来奖励的默契。礼物的逻辑超越了这个可理解的定义，因为它支撑着一种关系的认识，当我们的植物和真菌关系被视为物品或商品，而不是有自己的习惯、倾向和代理的生命时，这种关系很难(如果不是不可能的话)得到培养。我们提供了重新定位迷幻复苏的建议，为关系本体的蓬勃发展创造空间，索引到地方，并根据土著礼物逻辑提供信息。
