Dr. Marty Otañez, Chair and Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of Colorado Denver, will be presenting findings from a recent study on the experiences of BIPOC individuals with psilocybe mushrooms. This study, conducted at CU Denver, sheds light on the lived experiences and concerns of people of color and low-income individuals regarding the legalization of psilocybe mushrooms in Colorado.

During the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the study findings through short video interviews with research participants. These interviews touch on various themes, including psychedelic harm reduction, microdosing for stress relief, cultivation of medicinal mushrooms, medicalization, and corporatization. Additionally, the event will feature shroom-related storytelling and an opportunity for audience members to share their own personal psychedelic encounters.

Dr. Otañez is an expert in the field, with a focus on psilocybin use among people of color in Colorado and the promotion of corporate accountability in the global psychedelic sector. In collaboration with co-author Aaraon Diaz from Mexico City, Dr. Otañez will be publishing the first volume in a four-volume book series titled "Art-Based Narratives as Resources to End Cannabis Stigmatization in North America" in Fall 2023.

This event, supported by the Source Research Foundation, aims to expand the scope of psychedelic research in Colorado and increase policymakers' accountability by exploring BIPOC responses to Colorado's legal psilocybin sector. It will take place on October 18, 2023, at the Mercury Cafe in Denver. Admission is free.

A very large museum, the art is very rich, not only the introduction of the United States, but also the display of cultural relics from all over the world, including the Asian side, and many special exhibitions can be visited.

I can&rsquo;t go abroad during this time. I can only take out the photos I took before and look over. I am very fond of it. We also bought a lot of things in this place, and its architecture is also very local.

Denver Union Station

Historic buildings

Union Station is a building that shared together with Crawford Hotel. The building look very antique with many shops and restaurants for your shopping or meal before taking the train just behind the building. Really convenient.....👍👏💪

Colorado State Capitol

千游阁主

In Colorado, Colorado, where Denver is located, you can visit the state government Golden Summit House. Many US state governments have free open areas for tourists, as long as they are allowed to enter according to their prescribed time. This Colorado State House is the seat of the state legislature and the governor&#39;s office, as well as the office of members of the Senate and House of Representatives. It is said that the golden roof of this parliament building is made of pure gold to commemorate the Colorado gold rush. Walking in this state Capitol, you can really feel every step, especially &quot;America&quot;, and you can see people or events related to Colorado history everywhere you look. For a 24k pure tourist who is not so interested in American history, the European architectural style is the best to check in. For tourists who only need to walk around and watch flowers, it is generally used to visit the three floors that can be visited in 30-40 minutes, except for historical learning tourists. After indoor visits, you can come to the square where the building is located. In the park, there are few people, and the temperament of the large American countryside is particularly matched.

Lots of great exhibits and the animals look well cared for.  I would love for more non zoo attractions and services.  More food stands for instance.
