The world is waking up to the incredible healing powers of plant medicine, however due to its complex legal status, a murky world of unethical consumerism is quickly emerging. Indigenous communities and their lands are often exploited, and community-first projects are critically underfunded. The Grandfather Project straddles two worlds - we aim to increase therapeutic access to plant medicine by supporting community-based efforts, funding local grassroots projects that support those who cultivate, serve and protect these medicines. We also seek to spread awareness to those who have benefited from plant medicines of our shared responsibility to support the indigenous communities from which they originate. We believe in the powers of these plants to heal millions, and our goal is to shift the industry in a direction that ensures reciprocity and respect for everyone involved.

Our first two product drops support San Pedro (aka. Huachuma), via a research project at Johns Hopkins University and a community support grant to the Q’ero people of Peru’s Sacred Valley.
