About Us
Since 2014 a group of educators and students have revolutionized the previously disruptive 4/20 "smoke-out" (and later lockdown) on our campus by creating original public education forums to address a diversity of issues related to cannabis and psychedelic science, cultural history, legislation, entrepreneurship, medicines, and therapies in the interest of public health, safety, and liberty. This year students and the public will benefit from informed and illuminating discourse as experts from academia, industry, medicine, policy, and law gather in the Wolf Law Wittemyer Courtroom and Boettcher Hall, and on Zoom.
The symposium is organized by Dr. Caroline Conzelman and sponsored by the Psychedelic Club, CannaBuffs, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and the Global Studies Residential Academic Program (all at CU Boulder).

University of Colorado Boulder Land Acknowledgment
The University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado’s flagship university, honors and recognizes the many contributions of Indigenous peoples in our state. CU Boulder acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.
We will do this by:
Recognizing and amplifying the voices of Indigenous CU Boulder students, staff and faculty and their work.
Educating, conducting research, supporting student success and integrating Indigenous knowledge.
Consulting, engaging and working collaboratively with tribal nations to enhance our ability to provide access and culturally sensitive support and to recruit, retain and graduate Native American students in a climate that is inclusive and respectful.
