"This journal is published and sponsored by the International Federation for Internal Freedom (IFIF), an organization whose purpose is 'to encourage, support and protect research on psychedelic substances.' The basic long-range goal of IFIF is to work to increase the individual's control over his own mind, thereby enlarging his internal freedom. The present journal is an attempt to contribute to the realization of this long-term objective." IFIF Statement of Purpose, June 1963.
