As the emerging psychedelic renaissance reaches a pivotal moment of mainstream interest and regulatory legitimacy, it is vital that traditionally under-represented communities share a seat at the table and have their voices heard so as to ensure access to all the benefits that psychedelics and plant medicine offer. Additionally, it is vital that queer spaces be established for exploring the unique needs, gifts, and strengths that LGBTQI communities bring to psychedelics and psychedelic medicine.This conference is Part of Chacruna’s Women, Gender Diversity, and Sexual Minorities speaker series and is being held at the beautiful and historic <a href="https://www.brava.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Brava Theatre</a> in the vibrant Mission District of San Francisco. <a href="https://chacruna.net/queering-psychedelics/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More information, including the conference program and speaker list is available at Chacruna.net</a>For general inquiries, please email Alex Theberge at alex.chacruna@gmail.com

We educate the public and create cultural understanding and legitimacy regarding these substances so that they may cease to be stigmatized and outlawed. We also produce high-quality research on plant medicines and psychedelics, and help propagate academic knowledge in more accessible formats, including via our speaker series and conferences.
