CANNABIS POLICY MOVING BEYOND STALEMATE

The Beckley Foundation is a charitable trust that promotes the investigation of consciousness and its modulation from a multidisciplinary perspective. The research we initiate and direct aims to make significant theoretical advances that will help develop practical applications.

The mainstay of the foundation's work is to direct and support world-class research into the practices used to alter our conscious states, and the policies that seek to regulate some of these practices. Our activities include:

  • Initiating and directing scientific and policy research programmes
  • Hosting high level seminars
  • Writing academic reports
  • Creating networks of academics, professionals, and policymakers
  • Disseminating information to academics, health professionals, policymakers and the public.

  • Maintaining a website which contains all our publications, as well as an extensive online library with over 15,000 scientific papers and articles.
  • The Beckley Foundation was founded and is directed by Amanda Feilding, Lady Neidpath.
