What we’re about
Santa Cruz Psychedelic Society is a community-oriented non-profit organization interested in all facets of psychedelics and wellness. We are dedicated to education, advocacy, outreach, and overall support for the safe and responsible use & research of psychedelics, entheogens, and plant medicines for therapeutic, spiritual, and recreational purposes. We organize monthly community gatherings and events.
Santa Cruz Psychedelic Society does not explicitly advocate for the consumption of psychedelic substances — if you choose to engage in these substances, it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to use these substances safely, responsibly, and intelligently.
We will provide the resources for education and support, but we do not sell psychedelic substances nor do we give your advice on how to access them.
This is not the setting for you to sell or buy, so do not come if this is your intention. If you post comments looking for a supplier or to sell, your comment will be deleted. If you continue to post these types of comments, you will be banned from this group for the safety and continuation of this organization.
