The Psychedelic Source podcast brings you an intimate conversation between Dr. Sandra Dreisbach and attorney Jon Dennis, a leading voice in psychedelic policy reform.
Growing up in a spirit-filled Christian tradition, Jon's early experiences with faith healing and speaking in tongues shaped his understanding of non-ordinary states of consciousness. Today, he works to protect and expand access to sacred plant medicines through thoughtful policy reform.
In this candid discussion, Jon shares his journey from small-town lawyer to psychedelic policy advocate. He and Sandra examine the successes and shortcomings of Oregon's groundbreaking psilocybin program, including the concerning $1000+ price tag for legal sessions that excludes many who could benefit.
The conversation covers critical issues in psychedelic policy:
- Making sacred plant medicines financially accessible
- Protecting traditional and religious use
- Balancing safety with equitable access
- Learning from cannabis legalization's mistakes
- Current policy efforts in Washington state
Jon offers unique insights as both a spiritual seeker and legal expert working to create balanced psychedelic policies that serve all communities.
