SRI Unlocked: Psychedelics, Policy, and Progress with Dr. Sue Sisley MD

Join the Psychedelics Club for an evening with Dr. Sue Sisley, Principal Investigator of the Scottsdale Research Institute (SRI) — one of the few independent U.S. research centers conducting FDA-approved clinical trials on Schedule I substances.

Dr. Sisley has spent her career at the intersection of science and law, breaking through political and bureaucratic barriers to advance psychedelic and cannabis research. Under her leadership, SRI has gained national recognition for rigorous clinical work and relentless advocacy, from groundbreaking cannabis studies to an upcoming FDA-reviewed psilocybin trial that could reshape the future of mental health care.

In this talk, Dr. Sisley will share how she navigates legal challenges, restrictive policies, and advocacy efforts to move psychedelic science forward. She’ll also teach practical strategies for making your voice heard — from contacting elected officials to pushing for evidence-based policy change.

Expect an inside look at SRI’s research process, a candid discussion about the current state of psychedelic law, and a Q&A session where you can engage directly with one of the most influential figures in the field.

Whether you’re curious about the science, inspired by the activism, or eager to learn how to create change, this event will leave you informed, empowered, and connected to the evolving story of psychedelic medicine.
