Largest-ever psychedelic industry conference centers Colorado in shifting drug conversation

DENVER — “Am I tripping?”

Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, stood on stage before 5,000 people in a packed Bellco Theater clad in an all white suit and shirt taking it all in.

“I think not. It’s not that I’m trippin; it’s that culture is tipping,” he said by way of a welcome to MAPS’ 2023 Psychedelic Science conference, the largest gathering of psychedelic drug advocates, politicians, business people, medical practitioners and celebrities — from NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers to platinum-selling musician Melissa Etheridge — ever held on Earth.
