Psychedelics and Religious Liberty in the United States

A foundational series covering the intersection of US religious law with drug laws and psychedelics.

OVERVIEW

About Psychedelics and Religious Liberty in the United States

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to legally use psychedelics in the USA? Are you curious about starting a religion to have legal protection? Or maybe you are curious about a few of the federally protected psychedelic using religions in the United States and how they got that status? We assembled an amazing cast of experts to help you understand how religious law works in the USA. You will learn what is possible, how big a project you may be undertaking to get your existing religious group protected and much more.

This is an at-home self-study course, which means that you can go through the material on your own time. You will receive access to the video lectures for a life-time, so you will be able to go back and re-watch the course material whenever you would like to.
