Faerie Ring August 2025
We are excited to announce a big event in collaboration with the @globalpsychedelicsociety (GPS) and co-hosting locally with @big.psych
Join us as we integrate the inauguration of President Trump and analyze his drug policy, including its implications both domestically and globally.
Our expert panel will feature:
Ismail Ali, J.D., Director of Policy and Advocacy at @maps__org
Maritza Perez Medina, Director of Federal Affairs at @drugpolicyalliance
Jason Ortiz, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Last Prisoner Project
Moderated by Annie Oak Harrison, Editor-in-Chief of @lucidnewspsychedelics
The GPS is streaming this panel exclusively to in-person watch party events hosted by local psychedelic communities like ours around the world. They will also be providing us with prompts to continue engaging with one another after the panel.
Come learn from world drug policy experts and connect with your local community here in Minneapolis!
This will be a paid event, with a sliding scale/pay what you can ticket price between $5-40. This is to cover the overhead for event hosting and paying the panelists who are dedicating their time and expertise to deliver this important information to the broader psychedelic community.
