Psychedelic Science Conference, April 15-18, 2010



Greetings,

The following message comes from Rick Doblin, Ph.D., NORML Board Member
and Founder and Executive Director of the Multidisciplinary Association
for Psychedelic Studies (www.maps.org)

Dear NORML Members and Friends,

I would like to invite you to attend Psychedelic Science in the 21st
Century, (www.maps.org/conference), April 15-18, 2010, in San Jose,
California, with a $50 discount for NORML supporters. This is the largest
conference dedicated to psychedelics to take place in the U.S. in 17
years. The conference will feature presenters from around the world.
Ironically, there is a global renaissance in psychedelic research while
medical marijuana research is still being blocked. (www.maps.org/mmj/)

Among dozens of world renowned presenters are:
-Stanislav Grof, M.D., co-founder of transpersonal psychology
-Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., consciousness researcher & student of Timothy Leary
and Ram Dass
-David Nichols, Ph.D., medicinal chemist and pharmacologist, LSD
researcher
-Franz Vollenweider, M.D., Swiss neuroscientist
-Alex and Allyson Grey, visionary artists
-Earth and Fire Erowid, Founders of erowid.org, the greatest online
resource about psychoactive substances
-Michael Mithoefer, M.D., psychiatrist who conducted MAPS’ MDMA/PTSD study

One of the most exciting parts of the event will be a banquet to honor
psychedelic luminaries, the godfather and godmother of MDMA, authors of
TIHKAL and PIHKAL, Sasha and Ann Shulgin. Tickets for the benefit dinner
are limited and are likely to sell out.

The conference is scheduled to take place simultaneously with the Patients
Out of Time medical marijuana conference in Rhode Island. Integrative
medicine proponent Andrew Weil, M.D. will speak by video link to both
events.

I hope that you will join all of the amazing people attending the event.
Medical doctors, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals can
earn continuing education credits at the conference.

For more information or to register, visit www.maps.org/conference or call
