Blacks in Psychedelics

This is an online group open worldwide for people of African descent. The purpose of this group is to provide a forum for people of African descent, to discuss psychedelics. Below are some research papers that inspired the creation of this group:

If these articles (or just the titles of them) resonate with you then please consider checking out a meeting. Each meeting has a rotating host who facilitates discussion. After a round of introductions, the host provides a topic related to the black psychedelic experience. The meeting is opened up and each person is given a chance to share for 3-5 minutes.
