The service site follows PIR®’s single, organization-wide By-Laws. One copy, kept in one place, so it never goes out of date. 🌍
👉 Read the PIR® By-Laws on the main site (also kept on GitHub, with its full change history, and as a plain-text download).
The By-Laws of Psychedelics In Recovery — adopted by the initial Board of Directors on 10/06/2021 and amended since — govern how our fellowship’s service structure operates. If the Google Doc and the canonical .md ever differ, the .md wins — same pattern as our Privacy Policy. Official signed copies are available upon request from the Board Secretary.
