Next week I\u2019ll be attending the Psychedelic Science 2023<\/a> conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Supposedly it\u2019s the biggest psychedelics conference in the world, expecting 10K+ attendees and 300+ speakers. The speakers include Paul Stamets and Michael Pollan \u2013 you might know them from Fantastic Fungi<\/em> or How to Change Your Mind<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going because I want to learn more about psychedelics. I also want to immerse myself in a social world of people who are open-minded about such explorations. I\u2019ve only done a few journeys so far, the last one being several months ago, and I\u2019d like to explore new experiences along those lines in the months and years ahead.<\/p>\n

I learned about this conference only last week by attending a local psychedelics meetup group here in Vegas. It was lovely to connect in person with other like-minded people who are exploring psychedelics for self-development and for mind-expanding and heart-opening experiences. The vibe of that group reminded me of the warmth and connectedness that I experienced during my last journey.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just learning about the conference now and feel tempted to go, it\u2019s pretty easy to find discount codes online for 10-20% off the admission price.<\/p>\n

The conference website lists an almost overwhelming number of sessions that explore psychedelics from a variety of perspectives \u2013 medical research and results, Indigenous perspectives, decriminalization efforts, personal exploration advice, and lots more. I figure I\u2019m bound to learn a lot from it.<\/p>\n

There are many social events connected to this conference too, so many that it may be hard to choose which ones to attend \u2013 yoga sessions, dance parties, shroom journeys in the woods, etc.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been to this conference before, but I expect that it\u2019s going to be a fascinating week. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I also saw this one on a related web page:<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s <\/strong>Proposition 122, which was voted into law in 2022, allows for the personal use of psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline (not from peyote). This means people in Colorado under Colorado law are now allowed to grow, share and gift these substances, but they are not allowed to sell them. Possession and use of these substances are still illegal under federal law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nevada seems to be on a path towards decriminalizing psychedelics as well. On June 2nd the Nevada legislature passed Senate Bill 242, which establishes a psychedelic medicine working group as part of the state\u2019s health department. They\u2019ll study psychedelics for treating a variety of ailments, and if that goes well, it creates a pathways for decriminalizing personal use for all Nevadans.<\/p>\n

This Nevada bill actually got going as a result of constituents talking to members of the state assembly and encouraging this transformation in government\u2019s relationship to psychedelics. There are similar bills being introduced in several other U.S. states too. This will likely take years to play out, but it\u2019s an interesting step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
