OUR MISSION
Improve human health and well-being by decriminalizing and expanding access to entheogenic plants and fungi through political and community organizing, education and advocacy in the Philadelphia, PA area.
OUR VISION
We envision happier, healthier individuals and communities reconnected to nature and entheogenic plant and fungi traditions and practices.
OUR PURPOSE
To decriminalize entheogenic plants, restore our root connection to nature, and improve human health and well-being.
Why Decriminalize Entheogenic Plants?
The government has no legitimate authority to restrict access to plants and fungi. These natural substances were criminalized under the Nixon administration based on politics, not science. While some organizations seek approval through federal agencies like the DEA and FDA, Decriminalize Nature believes growing, gathering, and gifting entheogens is a basic human right.
Decriminalizing these sacred plants and fungi allows communities to reconnect with their ancient uses, free from government and corporate control. People should have the freedom to heal, pursue personal and spiritual growth, and explore consciousness on their own terms. Criminalization has caused stigma, job loss, and incarceration—we aim to end that.
There are 4 main types of entheogenic plants and fungi, each with their own benefits and properties.
