Will Shastri Ethan Nichtern be there as well? I'd like to book my flight this evening.

Hm, don't know much about Horn as a person, I know we don't align on politics, and I can't really connect to the teachings I've watched, also some of his material is downright troubling (teaching drugs as Buddhism...) Nichtern's politics are even more unpleasant. Folk seems cool.
‘Teaching drugs as Buddhism’ is a fairly disingenuous summary of Mr.Horn’s discussions of the topic, and portrays a naïveté as to the historical use of psychedelics in various Buddhist traditions. But that said, you clearly have a right to your own opinion.

I don't think it is. It's pretty simple to me: Advocating for drugs as Buddhism (or as anything else) on the internet today is irresponsible and dangerous. He can gesture to history and rationalize it and that's fine, but there's no way to know who's reading these 'teachings'...

Kids could be reading this stuff. Assuming your internet audience is mature, responsible, and discerning enough to know better than to experiment with chemicals is not a good idea. If he wants to teach it, do it in person, and make sure your audience is adult.
