We are delighted to invite you to Chacruna’s first Community Forum of 2025, which will explore the evolving landscape of religious and spiritual uses of natural medicines in Colorado. This discussion will examine the complexities surrounding state regulation of psychedelics, alongside diverse ethical and self-regulatory challenges within the psychedelic community. How can the sincerity of self-proclaimed ceremonial leaders be assessed? How can we safely integrate psychedelic care without jeopardizing sincere ceremonial practices under federal law? And how should the state track adverse events in underground psychedelic contexts without putting people at legal risk at the federal level? Should state agencies in Colorado be more intentional in defining what qualifies as a ceremony? Join us as we hear from an esteemed panel of speakers: Jamie Beachy, a professional chaplain, spiritual care educator, and ethics consultant with expertise in palliative care, hospice, and trauma care; Matthew Brockmeier, an attorney specializing in controlled substances within healthcare and wellness contexts, as well as drug policy reform; Taylor West, the executive director of the Healing Advocacy Fund and a leading figure in the emerging fields of psychedelic and cannabis policy reform; and Karina Bashir, an accomplished attorney and thought leader focusing on the intersection of law, business ethics, and psychedelics.
