Hello, everybody. Welcome back to psychedelics today. This is Joe Moore coming at you from Bracken Ridge, Colorado. I am recording this on New Year's Day, this intro at least.

And beautiful day here today.

And I hope this is the first episode of psychedelics today you get to listen to in 2021.

So thank you for being here through all of 2020.

It's been quite the ride.

So today on the show we have Gary Michael Smith S. Quire.

He wrote the recent Psychedelica Lex book.

Gary's an attorney in Phoenix, Arizona.

He's done some really interesting cannabis

and psychedelic law, work with the peyote way Church of God.

And yeah, we go all over the place in this episode.

Gary's also got some really interesting projects underway that I don't necessarily want to share yet.

But needless to say, there's going to be some exciting stuff happening in the U.S., legally speaking, I would say, in the next year or so.

So, yeah, really stay tuned for that.

So really enjoyed this interview with Gary.

Gary has his own podcast, too.

So check that out.

Just Google his name.

You'll find it.

And we'll have links to that in the show notes as well. Yeah, Gary really digs into the different angles around legal access to psychedelics. So his work with the peyote church was religious. And interestingly, I think it's only at the state level which is which is

really curious that they didn't have to really worry about the federal law or like actively

petitioning the federal government so cool stuff and uh yeah i just really appreciate gary's efforts
