Speakers and presentations (This panel took place on February 24, 2018):Gimena Pérez & Arturo Argueta – Plantas sagradas de Morelos, México para el tratamiento de “Los Nervios”.Pedro Nicoletti Motta – Desafíos para la educación popular en cannabis medicinal en Latinoamérica.Guus Zwitser – La prohibición de las plantas psicoactivas desde la perspectiva de salud pública.Rebeca Calzada – Heridas invisibles de la guerra contra las drogas: salud mental en las fuerzas armadas.The Sacred Plants in the Americas conference was held on February 23, 24, and 25, 2018 in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico. The conference had the purpose of building a bridge between indigenous and traditional psychoactive practices, psychedelic science, and drug policy through multidisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. In a context in which drug policy reforms are temporary, we consider it relevant to build spaces for discussion about psychoactive species and their growing multiplicity of uses. Moreover, it also sought to give voice to the indigenous people, who have been knowledgeable about psychoactive plants since ancient times, and they presented several lectures at the conference.El congreso Plantas Sagradas en las Américas se realizó los días 23, 24 y 25 de febrero del 2018 en Ajijic, Jalisco, México. Tuvo la finalidad de construir un puente entre las prácticas indígenas y tradicionales de psicoactivos, la ciencia psicodélica y las políticas de drogas; mediante el diálogo multidisciplinario e intercultural. En un contexto en que las reformas a las políticas de drogas son coyunturales, consideramos relevante construir espacios de discusión sobre las especies psicoactivas y su creciente multiplicidad de usos. Además se buscó dar voz a los indígenas, que han sido conocedores de las plantas psicoactivas desde tiempos ancestrales, por lo que ellos impartirán las conferencias magistrales durante el congreso.Info Plantas Sagradas en las Américas: http://plantas-sagradas-americas.net/ Drogas, Política y Cultura: http://drogaspoliticacultura.net/ Chacruna: http://chacruna.net/
