America was founded on the principle of religious liberty. Yet today, even with clinical studies confirming the efficacy of psychedelics in facilitating or enhancing spiritual experiences, thousands of individuals are incarcerated for their religious practices. The fact the vast majority of these sacraments are plants and natural substance makes this prohibition by the government event more egregious.

Psychedelic Accessibility and Reciprocity Update
All psychedelics, including Cannabis, are classified as Schedule 1 drugs, which are substances that have no current accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Other Schedule 1 drugs are heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl and oxycodone. The successful decriminalization of magic mushrooms in many jurisdictions and movement towards legalization in others is giving us hope. Hear from the people who are fighting the good fight on the front lines.
