The war on drugs, not only focused on sales but also on therapeutic and recreational use, is stronger than ever. Although there are more and more groups of people and organizations fighting against it, moving in the opposite direction that public entities are marking is complicated and lonely, since, without the support of clear laws focused on the user, each person interested in the issue must take the path of self-taught knowledge.
This is also why events such as Fuertedélica were born. They aim to delve deeper into psychedelic therapies and expose their advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of therapies. Today, we tell you everything you need to know about this unique event, which will soon bring together some of the world’s leading specialists in this discipline.
Fuertedélica: A psychedelic convention in Fuerteventura at a crucial time
News such as the non-authorization of MDMA for medical use, as well as the persecution of entities that carry out therapies with psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, and ketamine, highlight the need to continue research and debate around the benefits and risks associated with these therapies. This is where Fuertedélica comes from; an international conference that aims to address the different spectrums of everything that surrounds psychedelic culture: from all medical and therapeutic systems that incorporate sacred plants to drug policy or contemporary psychedelic culture.
The third edition of this international event will be held over the weekend of November 22 and 23 on the beautiful island of Fuerteventura, which, like a small rebel village in Gaul, is presented as an essential platform for dialogue, learning and deepening the interconnections between psychedelics and various aspects and sectors of our lives and society.
Introduction to microdosing psilocybin
As we mentioned in our article on psilocybin and its effects, the use of this substance in various therapies is becoming more common, especially in the form of microdoses. Today we offer you a brief but succinct guide on psilocybin microdosing: what it is, how it works, and what are the recommended doses, are only some of the topics we will be discussing below.
The event will be based on five round tables in which various specialists will share their perspectives on these substances, as well as their impact on mental health. Foundations already established in this sector such as ICEERS or INAWE, clinical psychologists, pharmacologists, anthropologists, healers, and many more people of impeccable reputation will take part in these tables and will give their points of view to contribute to the debate.
A weekend with the brightest minds in the psychedelic world
Fuertedélica offers its attendees a safe space to interact with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere, where they can create synergies, make new friends, and learn from internationally renowned professionals. In addition to the idyllic setting of Fuerteventura and renowned speakers, the weekend includes informal spaces that will become meeting points for exchanging ideas, collaborations, or just fun moments where one can express their concerns and thoughts with people from the same field.
To encourage camaraderie among attendees, events such as catamaran trips or an After Party are promoted, all focused on bringing attendees together. Tickets for all these activities can be found on their website: www.fuertedelica.org
Fuertedélica is organized by the Fuerteventura Psychedelic Association, a circle created for the exchange of knowledge about species and substances with psychoactive properties where potential therapeutic applications in the field of mental health are discussed. This group aims to educate by reducing the stigma towards these substances, as well as establishing relationships with professionals with whom to advance the knowledge and application of psychedelic treatments. Other main objectives of this foundation are the union between people interested in the use of these substances or the integration of these medicines in the scientific world.
We invite you to attend this unique event and discover for yourselves all that a conference with such renowned personalities as this year’s speakers has to offer, learn from the best researchers and therapists in this sector, and establish links with people with similar concerns. We remind you; Fuertedélica, in Fuerteventura on November 22 and 23, go and discover it for yourselves!
