What we’re about
The purpose of this group is foster community through the sharing of experience, knowledge, and love/positive energy.
The goal of this group is to help as many folks as we can, through education in the SAFE use of psychedelics and by holding space to create a community where integration and the sharing of mystical/spiritual/meaningful experiences is accepted and welcomed.
I fully intend to provide a mushroom cultivation course once we have enough interest/members.
There will be a weekly online meeting every Tuesday to begin with.Possibly a weekly Thursday cultivation class (when we have enough interest)
I'd like to hold an in-person Meetup once a month, but I prefer to wait until I've heard from members on preferred locations, days, etc
Disclaimer:
It is important to note that this collective/Meetup is for educational purposes only and is not intended to encourage or condone the use of illegal substances. While we may be discussing the history, culture, and potential therapeutic uses of psychedelics, we do not endorse or promote any activities which may be illegal in your locality. None of what will be discussed is intended to constitute as professional medical or legal advice.
It is also important to recognize that the use of psychedelics can have risks and potential negative consequences, including psychological distress, adverse physical effects, and legal consequences. Most well-known psychedelics remain illegal in the majority of jurisdictions around the world, including the United States. It is a federal offense in the United States, punishable by imprisonment and/or fines, to manufacture, possess, dispense, or supply most psychedelics, with few exceptions (one of which is academic research if regulatory approval has been obtained in advance in writing from relevant government agencies). Most decriminalization of psychedelic substances is happening at the county and city level, not state, however there are a few states that have passed bills for some psychedelics.
Although our discussions may cover recommendations or instructions for the safe use of psychedelics, this is part of our commitment to risk reduction, and are provided for informational purposes only.
