Now the state is setting up a legal framework for psychedelics to be used in therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Tahdooahnippah discussed the move to legalize as it relates to centuries of tradition and history in Indian Country with natural medicines, and how the U.S. government has long suppressed those actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe commodification of psychedelics is certainly against the Indigenous tradition,\u201d said Tahdooahnippah, in an interview for NPR\u2019s Weekend Edition. \u201cOne of our primary teachings is it\u2019s not for profit, it\u2019s not for sale. The purpose is healing and spiritual well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tahdooahnippah took part in two presentations: a panel (\u201cConservation and Justice of Peyote in the Americas\u201d) and a solo presentation (\u201cRetelling the story of peyote\u2019s past, present, and future\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>To hear more about Professor Tahdooahnippah\u2019s appearance at the conference, listen to the NPR story below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/player\/embed\/1184198848\/1184198849\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Forrest Tahdooahnippah (Comanche Nation) was featured on NPR\u2019s Weekend Edition in a story about a conference in Denver last week where he spoke about the potential unintended consequences of legalizing the kinds of psychoactive plants used to make psychedelic drugs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/2023\/06\/26\/professor-tahdooahnippah-featured-in-npr-story-at-psychedelic-studies-conference\/\" class=\"more-link\">Professor Tahdooahnippah featured in NPR story at psychedelic studies conference<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2114,"featured_media":1335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4],"class_list":{"0":"post-1190","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news-and-events","8":"tag-native-american-law-and-sovereignty-institute","9":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2114"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/native-american-law-and-sovereignty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
