Cannadelic Brings Psychedelic And Cannabis Therapy To The Dialogue
November 7, 2025
This weekend, scientists, lawyers, and experts are gathering to discuss the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy and medical cannabis in the future of medicine. On Nov. 7-9 at Coastal Creative in St. Petersburg, Florida, Cannadelic Global Summit will host a live debate, keynote collisions, and a cross-disciplinary examination of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Speakers will highlight both the benefits and risks of psychedelics, as research tends to grow in each direction. Organizers—who have created events in Miami and St. Petersburg—will be celebrating the summit’s 10th year.
They will acknowledge the “major divergences of philosophy, regulation, and practice” in the field. Keynote speakers will include:
- Dr. Angela Fisher, PhD – Erotic Neurobiology and Relational Healing
- Rebecca Neisler, Neuroscientist – Controlled Hallucinations & Cognitive Perception
- Michael Minardi, Esq. – The Legal Chessboard of the Drug War
- Heather Riley Heemstra – Sexual Healing Through the Endocannabinoid System
- Cheryl Moore, Regression Expert – Trauma Encoding & Memory Reconsolidation
- Pete Sessa – Culture, Community, and Connection as Revolution
Cannadelic was created by members of the grassroots organization Florida Cannabis Coalition (FCC), which launched in 2014. The FCC is dedicated to cannabis business education, networking, and advocacy in Florida. The FCC is behind several events, workshops, and expos designed to provide networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, patients, and advocates.
During past events, Cannadelic brings thousands of vendors, clinicians, researchers, and cultural leaders with a goal to spark conversations, collaborations, and careers. Pioneers such as Paul Stamets, Rick Doblin, and Nancy Whiteman have taken part in past events.
Cannadelic Tackles Neurodivergent Applications and Veteran Trauma
The Neurodivergent Empowerment Institute (NEI), the national clinical and educational division of Bionic Bloom, announced its partnership with Cannadelic Global on Tuesday.
Neurodivergent individuals may be increasingly seeking psychedelic-assisted care and alternative healing pathways. NEI aims to bring a standard that is rooted in “empowerment-based treatment, lived experience-informed support, and nervous system compassionate practices.”
“Neurodivergent brains deserve healing designed specifically for them—not forced adaptation into systems that were never built for our way of processing reality,” said Dr. Angela Fisher, founder of Bionic Bloom and NEI.
Veteran-associated trauma will also take the stage this year. The Cannadelic Global Summit announced that it will bring forward new pathways of recovery through psychedelic-informed care, trauma integration, peer-based support, somatic healing, and non-pharmaceutical therapeutic models.
The will discuss MDMA-assisted relational repair for combat trauma and psychedelics as disruptors of trauma memory loops. They also plan to discuss the role of cannabis in nervous system regulation.
Visitors can learn how to rebuild identity after military service ends. This will be done through peer-coaching and community reconnection models designed to reduce isolation. They can also learn the difference between numbing versus. embodied restoration.
With the U.S. veteran suicide rate far above the civilian population, Cannadelic Global is dedicating a major portion of the 2025 summit programming toward veteran trauma recovery, PTSD healing, and post-service reintegration.
