SSDP at Arctic Visions 2025 SSDP is excited to be participating in the Arctic Visions Psychedelic Conference at the University of Alaska Anchorage on August 15-16, 2025.
Join SSDP’s Gina Giorgio and gina vensel for a rare and moving conversation with William Leonard Pickard, who spent 20 years behind bars after one of the largest LSD-related arrests in U.S. history. Leonard will share his incredible story of survival, resilience, and transformation, offering a powerful look at the real human cost of the War on Drugs. Together, the panel will explore what Leonard’s experience reveals about justice, healing, and why the time is now to change psychedelic policy—and beyond.
Also, SSDP's Kat Murti will be hosting a fireside chat with Hamilton Morris, an American journalist, documentarian, and scientific researcher. He is the creator and director of the television series Hamilton's Pharmacopeia, in which he investigated the chemistry, history, and cultural impact of various psychoactive drugs.
