@sherifoundation If only your team didn’t fight to continue to criminalize growing your own or picking them out of the ground (still a felony) you wouldn’t have to worry about grants for your cost prohibitive program
@MattWalshBlog horrible take, the oldest archeological ev emerging from Japan 8000 bce, and cultivation of cannabis all throughout Asia and Europe ~4000 bce, what do you think those medieval European paintings of people smoking were in the 1200s? Tobacco wasn’t in Europe until around 1700s
@JackGorsline Sorry to hear you are getting pushback around your researching this, and of course that it happened. but “Psychedelic Community” is an awfully broad stroke… do those handful of people you mention speak for everyone?
@psymposia@tylerblack32 Ahh ok… although I guess that would also be pretty fascinating if an almost serotonin syndrome helped her communicate clearly the next day, tell stories, and use the bathroom. Did he suggest what mechanism would have allowed for those positive events following that?
@APsychedelics Kinda arrogant to think there is only one message and once that message is received, to cut off all ties to potential new insights and deeper questions
@JavierHasse@HIGH_TIMES_Mag With over 11 million people currently living in an effectively decriminalized area, and the decrim movement growing every day, this shows polling doesn’t represent actual change
@SciPsychedelics@michaelpollan Amazing how so many cities/counties (and one state) with > 11 million people living in areas effectively decriminalized or deprioritized and defunded, while only 28% support according to your poll. a sign that the polling doesn’t really show us anything about activating change!
@JackGorsline In addition, many dispensaries in CA moved from medical to adult use since the medical was extra steps and costs that were unnecessary. So how are they going to figure out retroactive 280e reimbursements? What a mess… trying to make their orgs continue to be relevant
@0xQuasark So you believe pharmaceutical control is how the wall comes down? Will financial incentive cause more control and criminalization against any competitors like decrim? What happens when pharma is out competed by natural growers… historically how does pharma react?
