Tribute to Norma Lotsof
The Penn Psychedelics Collaborative honors Norma Lotsof, whose lifelong dedication helped bring ibogaine from the margins of underground discovery into the modern dialogue on addiction treatment and psychedelic medicine. Together with her late husband, Howard Lotsof, Norma’s advocacy, compassion, and perseverance laid the foundation for much of the ibogaine research and practice that exists today. Norma now faces significant medical and financial challenges, and the global ibogaine community has come together to support her through this GoFundMe campaign. We invite our community to join in honoring her extraordinary contributions and helping ensure she receives the care and dignity she deserves.
The PhilaDelic Conference is an initiative of the Penn Psychedelics Collaborative at the University of Pennsylvania.
