"Latin America is so ready for psychedelics: the fourth country in the world with the most scientific publications on psychedelics, after the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, is Brazil." Thus began Marco Algorta's presentation at Latam Cann.Biz, a conference organized by El Planteo in Panama early in September. Algorta is the CEO of Bienstar Wellness, a company focused on bringing alternative mental health treatments to Latin America, and the first president of the Chamber of Medicinal Cannabis Companies of Uruguay.
