Olympia Psychedelic Society Public Event

Meet Incilius alvarius, the Sonoran Desert Toad. This animal produces a powerfully psychoactive secretion, the medicine most commonly called “Bufo.”
More than psychological insights or kaleidoscopic visuals, this medicine is most well-known for its ego-dissolving quality, hence its reputation as the most powerful psychedelic substance on planet Earth.
We will discuss Bufo’s ecological matrix and indigeneity, as well as its place in contemporary psychedelic settings. We will unpack some of the most common claims about this medicine and its synthetic counterpart, with particular attention to its role in human relating and authentic spiritual awakening.
Every kind of question is welcome, and the curiosity of those assembled will guide the flow of our conversation.
