Investigative Reporter | Covering the Politics of the Psychedelic Renaissance and Public policy analysis from between the aisles and beyond.
You may or may not be aware of this - but the presently-ongoing power struggle over the future of psychedelics here in Massachusetts serves as a fascinating case study on the future of public policy reform in the United States. Over the last few months, I've been fortunate enough to explore the ins, outs, and complexities behind the science, civics, and politics of 21st-century psychedelic drug advocacy. After a lengthy investigative process, I'm excited to share my deep dive into the current conversation surrounding the coming expansion of psychedelic science into mainstream American socio-political discourse. For nearly six centuries, Massachusetts has served as a tastemaker for next-generation progressive social policy. It began in 1634, when Puritan colonists established the first public park in North America - 44 acres that we now know as the Boston Common. In 1848, the General Court of Massachusetts established the Boston Public Library - America's first free municipal library, boldly declaring that "the education of the people [is] the safeguard of order and liberty." Fast forward to today: amidst a global mental health crisis of multigenerational proportions, the modern American political theater is oft-dominated by shadowy, deep-pocketed, profit-margin-motivated corporations and special interest groups. Here in Massachusetts, an unprecedentedly successful grassroots movement has gone toe-to-toe with one of the most powerful political apparatuses on the planet, fighting round-after-round over the subject of psychedelic decriminalization and/or legalization in our beloved commonwealth. Helmed by a small-but-scrappy group of deeply passionate activists, these grassroots leaders have an opportunity to do what similar movements in Oregon and Colorado failed to in recent years: pioneer America's first-ever *truly* equitable drug policy reforms en masse, in turn determining the future of mental health care not only in the United States, but in the entire western world as we know it.

Black, Hispanic & Asian communities are vastly underrepresented in clinical trials. Experts emphasize the urgent need for diversity in recruitment. LFA’s Vice President of Research Dr. Joy Buie states that “We have to come together as a community to do the work to make people understand why research is so necessary and important.” Learn more about bridging the gap and the work the LFA and other orgs are doing to improve outcomes in lupus clinical trials: https://ow.ly/fYMR50QtP6x

LDI Fellow Emily Largent and colleagues find that bioethicists’ views vary significantly on many ethical issues and do not reflect those of the U.S. public. For example, for issues like paying blood donors and supporting medical aid in dying, bioethicists are quite divided. These findings are important because bioethicists exert a critical influence on health care practice and policy. They are positioned to analyze complex ethical issues and tensions with expertise drawn from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Learn more about stark differences in the field of bioethics at our blog post here: https://lnkd.in/er-dj-5h
