Meet the Speaker: Larry Norris

Larry Norris, PhD, studied biopsychology and cognitive science as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, and defended his doctoral dissertation at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). His dissertation research reviewed archived ayahuasca experience reports to identify transformational archetypes and insights that could help inform developing models of integration (meaning-making). Larry is the co-founder and executive director of Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education (ERIE), located in Oakland, CA. ERIE is dedicated to the development of community education, research, and integration models related to entheogens and is currently offering workshops to cities across the US who are working to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi. Larry is also a co-founder and board member of Decriminalize Nature, which sprouted from Oakland in 2019. He advocates for the unalienable right to develop one’s own relationship with Nature and aims to support efforts to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi (e.g., ayahuasca, iboga, cacti, mushrooms).

About Decriminalize Nature

Decriminalize Nature (DN) is a 501(c)4 advocacy organization that sprouted from Oakland, CA, in 2019 and has grown into a nationwide movement. DN aims to improve human health and well-being by decriminalizing and expanding access to entheogenic plants and fungi through political and community organizing, education, and advocacy. The entheogens that we focus on are natural materials that grow from the ground and include mushrooms with psilocybin and psilocin, cacti containing mescaline, plant combinations similar to ayahuasca that contain DMT, and plants containing ibogaine. We focus on natural materials and advocate for a grow-gather-gift model to ensure each individual’s self-agency over their own healing process and the ability to grow their own and share in their community.
