AAA 2023 ANNUAL MEETING CALL FOR PAPERS

From Decriminalization to Professionalization: The Mainstreaming of Psychedelic Usage

A select few U.S. cities and/or states (e.g., Denver, Oregon, Seattle) have recently elected to decriminalize the use of psilocybin and are moving towards mainstreaming psychedelic-assisted treatment. This session welcomes thematic content that explores the transition from the decriminalization of psychedelics, its subsequent medicalization and professionalization, and its effects on caregivers, health providers, and communities at large.

Consider contributing a presentation for this session, which will be reviewed by the Association for the Anthropology of Consciousness. Please indicate interest by Tuesday, March 21, by contacting Nicole Torres at torresn5@wwu.edu or Lisa Gezon at lgezon@uab.edu.
