Welcome to the Portier Psychedelic Podcast! In this episode, we’re thrilled to share one of our FAVORITE talks with Larry Norris, Ph.D., the visionary co-founder of Decriminalize Nature. Larry is doing groundbreaking work in the United States, and this conversation dives deep into the powerful movement to reconnect people with nature and decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi. Who is Larry Norris, Ph.D.? Larry is the co-founder of Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education (ERIE) and Decriminalize Nature (DN), organizations focused on education, research, and policy reform for plant medicines. With a Ph.D. from CIIS and years of teaching experience, Larry brings incredible insight into the intersections of plant wisdom, consciousness, and grassroots advocacy.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

• What does it mean to "decriminalize nature"?

• The legal and language strategies behind the movement.

• The challenges of overcoming outdated policies around entheogens.

• Stories of those where entheogens truly help them, but are penalized.

• How Decriminalize Nature works to ensure people can safely access sacred plants without fear of legal repercussions.

• The broader vision for fostering a deeper connection with nature and entheogens.

In this episode: We discuss the combination of 'floating' and psychedelics. How can you use psychedelics like ketamine and psilocybin mushrooms safely in combination with floating? Why does floating enhance the psychedelic experience? Delve into the science, therapeutic potential, and personal insights that connect these practices. What are the combined effects, why would one explore this combination, and how would it work? We dive deep into the salty water with Christian Dockstader, the founder of True North Float. His company is on a mission to create regenerative architecture, intentional spaces where healing can thrive, self-discovery can flourish, and transformation can take flight. Providing services such as Flotation Tanks, Ice Bads, Massages, and Energy work.

The network facilitates Ketamine Assisted Therapy in beautiful spaces in most major cities in North America + one psilocybin truffles program in Amsterdam. Last year they announced the closing of 95$ million in investments, making Field Trip one of the biggest companies in psychedelic history.

We were excited to talk about this controversial mix of psychedelics and venture capitalism, are they a good mix? What motivates Ronan and Field Trip? What do they have in store as a business for the psychedelic field? We talked about what keeps him up at night, and how psychedelics like 5Meo DMT changed his personal and professional path.

Our guest Rick Strassman is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico. He led groundbreaking studies into DMT in the early '90s. Administering approximately 400 doses of DMT to nearly 60 human volunteers. He is the author of "DMT The Spirit Molecule". A book in which he describes his findings of the fascinating DMT research. One of the most fundamental pieces of psychedelic literature.

We had a wonderful conversation about the current psychedelic renaissance, endogenous DMT, and its potential functions for the construction of our reality. We discussed Ricks's personal relation to psychedelics and practical tips on how to use DMT.

His most recent publication " The Psychedelic Handbook" is a practical guide to all major psychedelics. Find more info about Rick Strassman and his publications at www.rickstrassman.com

How do you microdose NN-DMT? And what are the effects of micro dosing DMT? Can microdosing DMT help with depression? This is an interview with a Portier community member who has experimented with exactly this topic. We’re diving into virgin territory here, with another Portier Psychedelic Podcast episode.
