😠 Missouri Lawmakers Not Using Opioid Settlement Funds for Proven Psychedelic Therapies I've seen how Iboga works with addiction firsthand. There are Ibogaine clinics that work with addiction.  But Missouri lawmakers don't seem interested in an addiction therapy that works.  Missouri lawmakers decided to pull $10 million earmarked for psilocybin research from the state budget. This decision came after a back-and-forth game where the initial proposal was to fund ibogaine research, which was then switched to psilocybin, and finally, stripped away entirely. The proposal initially aimed to utilize opioid settlement money for exploring the therapeutic potential of psilocybin as a treatment for opioid use disorder. However, the Senate Appropriations Committee decided to remove this allocation, leaving no funding for psychedelic research in the budget. Interestingly, there is still separate legislation moving through the Missouri House and Senate that could legalize medical psilocybin for military veterans and support future research.

Today, I take a moment to remember those we’ve lost, those bravely battling their addictions, and the dedicated individuals supporting them in this fight. Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with opioid addiction fueling this epidemic. Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose than from a car accident or a gunshot. Black Balloon Day aims to raise awareness about the critical need to support those struggling with substance use disorder and their loved ones. This epidemic affects us all, both directly and indirectly, presenting us with the opportunity to support one another.
