Join Stephen Gray and Marc Caron as they speak with Jay Katz from the Psychedelic Association of Canada for this pre-conference special online zoom webinar and livestream. Be part of our online Zoom audience and be part of the Q&A to get your Questions answered.
In this webinar we will discuss the current state of psychedelic medicines in Canada and the very important process of getting access to psychedelics for all Canadians.
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. Our 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, we became a Canadian not-for-profit organization. Since then, we have been joined by hundreds and hundreds of members across the country. The professional psychedelic community is well connected in Canada. We 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.
