About
Michigan Psychedelic Society (MPS) was founded by Julie Barron — described as 'the woman who started it all in Michigan.' MPS provides community building, education, and networking infrastructure for Michigan's psychedelic ecosystem, with connections to Decriminalize Nature Michigan and the academic Michigan Psychedelic Center at the University of Michigan (founded by George A. Mashour, MD PhD).
Why It Matters
Michigan's status as the 'Decrim Capital of the Midwest' rests on overlapping organizations. MPS is the connective tissue tying the academic, advocacy, and community wings together.
