Portland Psychedelic Society, 2019

Potential clients and curious members of the public ask me pretty often how they can safety experience psychedelic healing and exploration. Most of the time it is against the law to use psychedelic medicines and you can go to prison if caught. However, there are some legally-sanctioned approaches you might want to consider. I spoke with members of the Portland Psychedelic Society about some of these options in 2019. Watch this video to learn about what options may be available to you.

I am not a lawyer. Alway check with local, state, and federal laws before you do anything.
