PA Characters Lore
Psychedelics Anonymous is a Web3 NFT community of creators, collectors, and psychedelic advocates offering real-world utility to its members.
I have written about Psychedelics Anonymous before, you may find the extensive article here.
A lot has happened since then, and in the meantime the project has changed ownership, marking an exciting new phase in its development. As previously mentioned, web3 projects are constantly evolving. After the original founders lost some connection with the community, a new team was formed with the aim of simplifying the project and steering it towards a new future.
A key feature of the PA ecosystem is the ability to personalize your NFT (= “membership pass”) in New Dawn, the world's first NFT trait economy platform. Here, collectors can buy, sell, and trade traits to upgrade their PFPs, thus evolving their digital identities.
Personally, I’ve always enjoyed bringing my PA NFTs to life and crafting stories around them.
These narratives resonate with the core themes of PA, such as personal development, mental health, neuroscience, and nature. For instance, they might explore themes of resilience, inner growth, or the healing power of nature.
While storytelling isn't a focus of the artwork itself, it's a personal passion of mine.
