Plant medicines are making a comeback and rightly so. Shunned and seen as “dangerous” in the early 70’s, they are now emerging as better medicines than big Pharma has ever concocted. Below are sites that better explain and explore this renaissance: 

The Psychedelic Association of Canada grew from a diverse group of individuals all wanting to do their part to usher psychedelics into the mainstream in a conscious and considered way. Their founding team includes people who have been active in Canada’s vibrant psychedelic community for decades, as well as medical and therapeutic professionals who are newer to the scene, but through their own experiences and research are waking up to the value of these powerful modalities. In 2019, they became a Canadian not-for-profit organization. Since then, they have been joined by hundreds and hundreds of members across the country. The professional psychedelic community is well connected in Canada. They respect the incredible healing potential of these sacred substances and nurture a thriving community of people all dedicated to realizing the full potential of humanity.
