The answer is NO – it can also ASSIST dancing, singing, connecting, hiking, going to museums, grieving, and having fun. If the authors don't believe psychotherapy can make money, they should probably switch their buisness to one of them.

The Church of Psilomethoxin falsely claims it never said that psilomethoxin had been "positively identified in its Sacrament."

But even if that were true, why on earth is the Church website promoting the idea of "purifying" and injecting mystery goo into numerous people?

I regret being interviewed for this article about psychedelics & Prince Harry w Daily Mail (& now copy cat articles also quote me). Many of my words were distorted or out of context. Biased & distasteful. https://t.co/qtOmHI0CMF

BREAKING: A delegation of a dozen Canadian Patients and Healthcare workers is en route to Ottawa to demand a meeting with the Ministers of Health @jyduclos and @Carolyn_Bennett after being ignored for over 365 days.

[Julie Holland, MD @BellevueDoc]

1) higher dose thc can have psychedelic effects, and could likely be used as an adjunct to psychotherapy (or a way to "process trauma") the way some are using mdma or psilocybin
2) maybe stop fetishizing single strains of cannabis and consider a blend

@remedy_hello Congrats!!

[Tommaso Barba @tommaso_barba]

Saturday I presented a poster at #ICPR2022 on the effects of psychedelics on sexual function in healthy and depressed subjects with Bruna Giribaldi. Glad people were interested! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

(Here some key results but being careful to interpret before the paper is out) #psychedelic #LSD

Hypothesis: diagnosed depression rates will rise in neighbourhoods with future psychedelic clinics. Everyone will need their prescription

[SpencerHawkswell @SpencerHawkswe1]

After 2 years of trying to work with @jyduclos and @Carolyn_Bennett to get medical access to #psilocybin, patients have had enough of being ignored.

They are suing the Ministers to ensure this issue is addressed and solved with medical regulations.

BREAKING:
Canadians fighting for psilocybin access sue federal government.

"This is the landmark case that is going to legalize psychedelics in Canada."

[SpencerHawkswell @SpencerHawkswe1]

This could very well be the most important court case in the history of Psychedelic drug access.

These patients may assert that accessing Psychedelics like Psilocybin is a charter-based right.

Latest Microdosing Study

Finds noticeable subjective effects, but no evidence of benefits to well-being, creativity, cognitive function.

"expectation underlies at least some of the anecdotal benefits attributed to microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms."

[TheraPsil @TheraPsil]

There is now a legal pathway for Canadian patients to access cGMP medical psilocybin products!

TheraPsil is supporting patients & doctors to navigate this pathway

[TheraPsil @TheraPsil]

It's important to demonstrate how absurd our current psilocybin access system is.

Minister @jyduclos this is old news; there are vendors openly operating, selling psilocybin products with no policing.

You deny access to cancer patients but allow this?

1/ In February 2022, @MindstateDesign along with @TactogenInc @HamiltonMorris & @PanaceaPlantSci filed a request for hearing to oppose the DEA's scheduling of five tryptamines. Today the DEA withdrew the proposed scheduling - a great victory for research & patients!

[Haley Maria Dourron @HDourron]

So "How to Change Your Mind" and the hype more generally in psychedelic science is a big deal. Maybe we should talk about how it might/or might not be impacting the science?

I'll be publishing the resulting article probably in @ipnpsychedelics
