Discovering Psychedelics: An Intro and Community Forum
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Perceptions of psychedelics are shifting as research continues to show their efficacy for improving mental health and facilitating healing and personal growth. The increase in public acceptance is especially true in Oregon, where we are treading uncharted territory with the passage of Measures 109 and 110 and psilocybin services launching this year.
And while perceptions are shifting, the stigmas still linger. What is true, and what is a myth? This event aims to demystify the world of psychedelics and to provide an educational platform and community resource center for those who are newer to the psychedelic space.
Through short presentations by local experts and facilitated Q&A sessions, four key topic areas will be covered:
- Psychedelic History and Policy
- An Intro to Psychedelics and Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness
- Psychedelic Brain Science 101
- Harm Reduction
Discovering Psychedelics is the kick-off to a series of additional events and workshops hosted by PPS that will dive deeper into the four focus areas.
