#30 - Discussions On The Decriminalize Nature Movement with Co-Founder Larry Norris, PhD

Send a textHey everyone and welcome back to a great interview with the glorious Larry Norris, PhD. Larry is the cofounder of Decriminalize Nature, which began in Oakland, CA in 2019 and has sprouted across the US. Decriminalize Nature related policy has now passed in twenty cities nationwide with close to one hundred more cities considering decriminalization. Larry is also the co-founder of Entheogenic Research Integration and Education (ERIE), a nonprofit organization which offers education and integration support for those interested in entheogens. His doctoral research focuses on ayahuasca experiences and integration, as well as expanding integration concepts beyond the psychotherapeutic paradigm. He believes it is an unalienable right to have one’s own relationship with nature and encourages empowering grassroots communities to build local and culturally relevant support structures related to entheogens. Listen as we discuss community based psychedelic movements, the differences between decriminalization/ legalization and the surprising support emerging from the libertarian movement in the US.Support the showAs always, if you like what you hear, please leave a review on iTunes.
