Charity founder Fiona Gilbertson (CF 2015) has worked on events in Scotland as part of her Activate project. Fiona was given a grant for her work in campaigning for drug policy reform. Indigenous healers, practitioners and others gathered to discuss life changing experience of psychedelics. Another event focused on medicinal cannabis and continued the conversation on an ethical cannabis bill for Scotland, where several cannabis farms are staring up legally. These events attracted academics, industry figures, medical patients, government representatives and others.
