🌿 From Sacred to Stigmatized: The Criminalization of Plant Medicines 🌿
Join Decriminalize Nature NW Arkansas for the second installment in our Education Night Series as we explore the fascinating and complex history of plant medicines.
In this session, we’ll trace the journey of entheogens:
✨ Their sacred role in ancient shamanic healing practices.
✨ Their rise to prominence in the 1960s counterculture movement.
✨ The harsh federal crackdown on psychedelics under Richard Nixon.
✨ The current renaissance of plant medicines like psilocybin and ayahuasca, backed by groundbreaking research proving their safety and effectiveness.
This discussion will highlight the profound disconnect between ancient wisdom and modern stigma, the role of systemic criminalization in shaping public perception, and the urgent need to reclaim the potential of plant medicines for healing and transformation.
💡 Whether you're new to the conversation or deeply invested in the movement, this is a powerful opportunity to deepen your understanding and be part of a growing effort to decriminalize and destigmatize entheogenic plants and fungi.
💬 Admission: Free and open to all! Bring your curiosity, questions, and a friend.
✨ Let’s connect, learn, and work together to build a future where these sacred medicines are accessible to all who need them.
