It has been a pretty crazy few weeks in the space surrounding psychedelics. And it will likely continue to be this way for some time to come. But staying the course and coming together is key right now. Together we can overcome these obstacles.
It is no secret in the world surrounding #psychedelictherapies that the events ICER report and FDA Adcom meeting are difficult to process. There are a lot of emotions right now in people and that is understandable. Fear, frustration, and worry top the list in many people I have spoken to. What is going to happen in August? What does this mean for the collective goal of bringing psychedelic healing to millions who desperately need it? What happens if.....? (insert myriad endings there) How will this impact....? (same as above) I am approaching it from the standpoint of "good, bring it on." Nothing worthwhile was ever easy Nothing you feel proud of was ever just handed to you. This is just one more hurdle in a long line of hurdles that have already been overcome. I am confident the world surrounding psychedelic medicines will come together and figure this out also. Luckily there is a whole new generation of people who are fighting for this right to heal and help others heal. And those that have carried the flag for decades can know that those coming are ready to take that flag when the time comes. #psychedelics #psychedelicmedicine #veteranshelpingveterans #veteranhealing
