“Psychedelica Lex is the most comprehensive legal book and website in the psychedelic space, and perhaps of all time. Moreover, Gary is one of the most competent and knowledgeable lawyers in the space and offers sensible legal solutions to increase safe access to psychedelics.”

“In addition to his important work on Arizona contracting and construction law, Gary Smith is a leader in the growing and evolving fields of law related to cannabis, psychedelics, and entheogens more broadly. His important book, Psychedelica Lex, is essential and a must-read for anyone interested in these issues.”

“Gary is a profound and compassionate legal thinker whose devotion to the cause of freedom of consciousness is manifest in his hard work for the cause. Gary’s commentary and insights provide the community of visionary practitioners with what they most need from their lawyers — clear-eyed insights into the legal implications of engaging in the path of visionary consciousness. For me, he is a welcome kindred spirit, another voice crying in the wilderness, “Let my people practice their Way!”

“Gary Smith is among the most knowledgeable people I’ve had the opportunity to interview on the topic of psychedelics and religious exemption. He is expert in his field and is quick to make himself available to help.”

“Psychedelica Lex is the go-to book to get acquainted with and dive into the legal issues and law relevant to psychedelics. It is a necessary primer for those in the psychedelic space. Unlike most legal writings that are dry, Psychedelica Lex simplifies legal jargon, infuses humor, and makes dense concepts accessible to all. The book is thorough and a valuable resource. We highly recommend it and are big fans.”

“In starting my internship at Plant Medicine Law Group, Gary Smith’s “Psychedelica Lex” could not have been more helpful. For such a nuanced industry as psychedelics, Mr. Smith explained the complicated legal issues quite clearly, making them understandable to a lay audience. His friendly, and at times comical tone also made getting through the dense material much more enjoyable. For anyone hoping to learn more about the psychedelic space and running a business within it, I would highly recommend this book.”

“Mr. Smith has been a torchbearer of the Arizona medical marijuana program adopted in 2010, which has now been joined by its sister program, an adult-use marijuana program. His established position as a legal leader in the marijuana marketplace has recently been supplemented by his newest pursuit leading the charge for the right of Americans, indeed, the world, to use psychedelics for health, religious pursuits and meditation, as well as for recreation.

When I learned he had published Psychedelica Lex in 2019, I immediately purchased the book for my own reference purposes and I was not disappointed. Since that initial purchase I purchased several more copies for business friends and associates, some of whom are key executives of a cannabis multi-state operator that is presently expanding its business into psychedelics. They, too, have been highly impressed with the scope of Psychedelica Lex and its central position to the development of this new business pursuit.

Mr. Smith is truly a leader and Psychedelica Lex is the go to reference book on the law in this emerging industry.”
