Plant Psychedelics in the English Courts: Legal Uncertainty & “Dog Law”

Human ingestion of psychedelic plants is thought to stretch from pre-history to the present; in more recent epochs such rituals have been shadowed by attempts at their suppression. This talk looks at the latest efforts to stamp out this praxis on these shores … and what those of us committed to fighting for our cognitive liberty can do about it.

Charlotte Walsh is a legal academic whose research focus is on psychedelics and the law, viewed from a libertarian, human rights based perspective. She is a founder member of Drug Equality Alliance – an organisation that campaigns for equal rights and protection of all drug users – and is involved in advising individuals prosecuted for activities involving plant psychedelics.
