@ferenstein @Josh__Hardman @revjoewelker The federal protections referenced stem from the Nuremberg Code and atrocities such as Nazi torture of people in concentration camps and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. So, we should take research ethics seriously & defend the rules intended to protect human research participants.

@PsilocybinOR @PsydelicsToday They appear to be going down the same path.

1/ In AJOB @bioethics_net @MasonMarksMD and I have a new open-access paper "Psychedelic Medicine Exceptionalism." https://t.co/vdA52gbCX8
Here is the abstract
"Research on psychedelic medicines is experiencing a revival.

While #Colorado has a $1 billion budget shortfall, lawmakers are attempting to pass a trigger bill tied to FDA approval of #psilocybin, an uncertain event that could be years in the future. States spent resources on similar bills for MDMA, and FDA declined to approve the drug.

1/2
On the first day of Colorado’s legislative session, a new psilocybin bill was introduced. The bill proposes allowing the use of crystalline polymorph, contingent upon FDA approval.

@drrickbarnett @MarijuanaMoment @PsydelicsToday @Josh__Hardman 🔥🔥🔥 "Regardless of any regulatory change pursued by the legislature, there was widespread agreement that it would be beneficial to develop #education for the public & training for practitioners to reduce risk for those who choose to use #psilocybin outside a legalized system."

[Psychedelic Week @PsychedelicWeek]

#Psilocybin service center bans pass in 16 of 17 Oregon jurisdictions this week.

@JackGorsline @jomo137 @GrahamM06812404 @victorialitman @baystaters @jamielmorey @shaleentitle @MasonMarksMD @Yes4MA @PetrieFlom @thecrimson @WBUR Graham Moore was invited and declined. He changed his mind and contacted us during the event. We said he could join, even at that late time, if he signed the media consent form all speakers had completed, which had previously been sent to him. He again declined to participate.

@JackGorsline @jomo137 @GrahamM06812404 @victorialitman @baystaters @jamielmorey @shaleentitle @MasonMarksMD @Yes4MA @PetrieFlom @thecrimson @WBUR Jack Gorsline was removed solely because he was disrupting the event by repeatedly posting a question that had been answered (literally spamming the Q&A function), among other zoom bombing-like behaviors.

@ondrugsmedia @tomangell And perhaps 2030.

@victorialitman @GrahamM06812404 @JackGorsline @baystaters Everyone will have an equal opportunity to make introductory remarks (a few mins) and respond to questions. They will not be interrupted. We merely ask that people be respectful. I am not participating in the discussion.

@GrahamM06812404 @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed Please send me a short 2-3 line bio that says how you’d like to be introduced, and I’ll send you the zoom info and other details: [email protected]

@JackGorsline @GrahamM06812404 @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed @SensiMag @Entheogen_MC617 To be clear, this information has not been discussed, let alone confirmed. I will let you know if that changes.

[Psychedelic Week @PsychedelicWeek]

@GrahamM06812404 @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed Graham, you are welcome to participate, but of course that’s up to you.

[Psychedelic Week @PsychedelicWeek]

@GrahamM06812404 @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed Graham, you are welcome to participate. However, the topic of discussion is the substance of the ballot question your campaign supports and why you are supporting it. We’re going to focus on the content and its implications for people and the state.

[Psychedelic Week @PsychedelicWeek]

@JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD Jared, we’re holding the discussion on Friday at 8pm Eastern. You are invited. Sunday and Monday are clearly unrealistic for a variety of reasons that should be obvious.

[Psychedelic Week @PsychedelicWeek]

@tomangell A shame it doesn't decriminalize people who use cannabis.

@JaredMoffat2 @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @baystaters @MasonMarksMD Yes, it's a popular American sport, and many families devote their Sundays to watching it. I can see that this is more trouble than it's worth.
