Hello my name is Dennis McKenna I'm an
ethnopharmacologist, I am a founding
board member of the Heffter Research
Institute and recently I founded a
non-profit in Canada called the McKenna
Academy for natural philosophy. I am very
pleased to be invited to the conference
sponsored by the Canadian psychedelic
Association titled What Can Psychedelics
Teach Us. I think psychedelics can teach
us a great deal, they have long been
under the stewardship of indigenous
peoples but now they are propagating
their message to a wider world and the
wider world is beginning to listen. 
I very much look forward to participating
and sharing our perspectives in this
conference, Thank you!
