Welcome to the Portier Psychedelic Podcast! In this episode, we’re thrilled to share one of our FAVORITE talks with Larry Norris, Ph.D., the visionary co-founder of Decriminalize Nature. Larry is doing groundbreaking work in the United States, and this conversation dives deep into the powerful movement to reconnect people with nature and decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi. Who is Larry Norris, Ph.D.? Larry is the co-founder of Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education (ERIE) and Decriminalize Nature (DN), organizations focused on education, research, and policy reform for plant medicines. With a Ph.D. from CIIS and years of teaching experience, Larry brings incredible insight into the intersections of plant wisdom, consciousness, and grassroots advocacy.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

• What does it mean to "decriminalize nature"?

• The legal and language strategies behind the movement.

• The challenges of overcoming outdated policies around entheogens.

• Stories of those where entheogens truly help them, but are penalized.
