Oregon’s current psilocybin services program offers an important early case study for other regions looking to facilitate access to psychedelics. In a recent paper, CPCR researchers analyzed the first full year of data from the Oregon Health Authority, examining how Oregon’s policy has balanced safety and access to psychedelics outside of clinical settings.

New pilot study shows two doses of psilocybin reduced symptom burden by ~40% in people with post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD), with improvements in pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood lasting up to 6 months. Findings are still very preliminary, but suggests psilocybin may be a new avenue for treating PTLD and possibly similar illnesses.

70% of Americans can’t afford a median home. Why?
Broken money forced people to use real estate as savings, making homes unaffordable. Houses aren’t savings accounts, they’re meant to be lived in.
#Bitcoin demonetizes housing, drives prices down and puts families back in homes.
This is cool, but I still don't understand why were still stuck on federal "research" when tens of thousands of people have gone through Oregon's psilocybin program. It's providing safe and positive outcomes at 20x the scale of clinical trials, for a fraction of the cost.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he's aiming to provide access to psychedelic therapy for military veterans "within 12 months"—adding that he talks about the issue with Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins "all the time."

A leaderless decentralized cypherpunk open source software project that secures property rights and free speech for anyone and destroys central banking and financial censorship has just eclipsed the corporate behemoth Amazon in market cap
4 left to go… ✌️
I think psychedelic pilot programs are the sweet spot for state legislatures right now to advance focused access frameworks that can scale over time, that also ideally include funding not just for program admin, but for treatment as well. LFG Nevada!!
Nevada Lawmakers Approve Bill To Create Psychedelic Therapy Pilot Program: "Treatments that involve the administration of psychedelic substances...may contribute to the public welfare by fostering enhanced treatment outcomes."

The New Mexico House Health & Human Services Committee approved a Senate-passed bill to create a therapeutic psilocybin program by legalizing the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms for use in a supervised medical setting.

A major step forward—what’s next? 🧵👇

Feels important to clarify that Missouri HB 829, if passed, would let veterans legally use psilocybin **via FDA clinical trials** (as opposed to some form of a state regulated access program)
Missouri Lawmakers Approve Bill To Let Military Veterans Legally Use Psilocybin: "I thought it was important enough for me to put my thoughts behind me and to listen to what the witnesses had to say."

UPDATE: AZ SB 1555 aiming to establish a licensed & regulated program for psilocybin therapy has been gutted and replaced with a study committee. Unclear if there will be an attempt to revive it at this point. Opposition from the AZ Medical Assc likely to have played a role.
🚨 AZ *just* introduced SB 1555, a bill to license & regulate #psilocybin therapy
📄 Read the bill: azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/1R/b…
IMHO: Arizona is without question in the top 5 states most likely to pass meaningful psychedelic access legislation via state legislature this year #AZleg
