The Ongoing Legal Battle for Claude Bauchet & Ayahuasca in France

Natalia Rebollo, the coordinator of the ICEERS Legal Defense team, and Sarah Russo discuss the legal battle Claude Bauchet has faced since 2005 when ayahuasca was classified as a controlled substance in France. Claude's arrest in 2019 has led to multiple serious charges. This video interview explores the details of the case, the scientific and regulatory background that led to ayahuasca's classification by the French government, and ICEERS' works to advocate for the recognition of religious freedoms and traditional plant medicine practices. Learn about the broader implications for human rights, religious freedom, and the ongoing fight against unjust drug policies.
