Can you speak to the harm inflicted on indigenous populations by the increase of whitewashed ayahuasca ceremonies and retreats, the quintessential colonial poaching and endangering of bufo toads, and over-harvesting of peyote off lands cared for by people who have been stigmatized and criminalized for their relationship with the same plant?

You already said it. Harming and criminalizing indigenous communities sucks, as does endangering any plant or animal species. There are plenty of other ways to get the benefits of psychedelics.
Chacruna is a psychedelic justice organization that does work around this for anyone who wants to know more.
Tim Ferriss also put out a piece about this not too long ago.
