Psychedelic Week

New on Psychedelic Week. An update on recent events and other projects. psychedelicweek.com/p/psilocybin-l…

@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.

@Josh__Hardman @revjoewelker Can someone explain in detail what went wrong? i know by some academic standards this seems bad, but IRB’s have faced serious criticism lately so i don’t take their word for it. I don’t see anything that compromised the science. Did the participants complain of harm?

Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Clergy Study Found to Have Multiple Counts of "Serious Non-Compliance" with Federal Human Subject Protections via @revjoewelker psychedeliccandor.org/p/breaking-joh…

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

@PsydelicsToday It is sad that rich donors don't fund grassroots campaigns like this—but instead give consultants at the Healing Advocacy Fund and New Approach PAC millions to piss away. Hopefully, that will start to change because the old way as seen in MA does not work.

1/ In AJOB @bioethics_net @MasonMarksMD and I have a new open-access paper "Psychedelic Medicine Exceptionalism." #abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 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.

@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."

#vtpoli here’s the report from Act 126 Psychedelic Therapy Advisory Group. Spoiler alert: nothing exciting @MarijuanaMoment @PsydelicsToday @Josh__Hardman legislature.vermont.gov/assets/Legisla…

#Psilocybin service center bans pass in 16 of 17 Oregon jurisdictions this week. opb.org/article/2024/1…

@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.

@PsychedelicWeek @victorialitman @baystaters @JackGorsline This is our FINAL offer, what we ORIGINALLY agreed to, and ALL we will consent to: @jamielmorey and me, representing the campaign, and James and up to ONE other Bay Staters for Natural Medicine member tonight

@ondrugsmedia @tomangell And perhaps 2030.

@tomangell Probably 2026 too.

Barring an unexpected litigation victory at some point, your cannabis company will be paying 280E taxes for calendar year 2024.

@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 @PsychedelicWeek @JackGorsline @baystaters Working on those details - will get them to you as soon as practicable.

@PsychedelicWeek @JackGorsline There's been a concerning lack of transparency in the way this has been organized. We were told this was a discussion about the ballot question between Bay Staters and the campaign. We had no knowledge that people from other states were going to be included. And we know there other Massachusetts who would like to be involved

Excited to be part of tonight’s @PsychedelicWeek discussion on Massachusetts’ Question 4! Join us at 8pm ET for a deep dive into what this initiative could mean for decriminalizing and regulating psilocybin, ibogaine, mescaline, and DMT. Free registration—hope to see you there! #Psychedelics #Massachusetts us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@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: psychedelicweek@gmail.com

@PsychedelicWeek @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed I am definitely participating because I am 100% committed to ending the unjust criminalization of therapeutic substances in MA. I am running on like 3.5 hours of sleep right now because of everything I'm doing to win b/c I know that this measure will be lifesaving

Harvard invited @Baystaters and the pac behind question four to debate next week. The pac backed out— as they have in the past The lobbyist team only wants to debate mushrooms good/bad. The thought of justifying small business collapse and $2,000 mushrooms in Oregon terrifies it

@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.

@PsychedelicWeek @GrahamM06812404 @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed Popping back in with a media coverage update: @SensiMag Massachusetts will be on site (pending location details) to cover the debate as well. And I’ve confirmed that at least 1 representative from the Entheogen Melanin Collective @Entheogen_MC617 will be joining in on the fun.

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

@PsychedelicWeek @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD @Parents4PlntMed I wouldn't want it any other way. My frustration is that @baystaters should be able to tell what IS and IS NOT in the bill w/o me needing to explain, but he perpetuates falsehoods about bill. Have you explained to him that 1g psilocybin does not mean 1g psilocybin mushrooms?

@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.

@PsychedelicWeek @JaredMoffat2 @baystaters @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD I want to note that @baystaters continues to block me. I don't understand @PsychedelicWeek why @Parents4PlntMed and me are the ones on trial here, considering we've been in MA longer and our grassroots credentials are equivalently strong, but we will defend Q4 from lies.

@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.

@baystaters @PsychedelicWeek @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @MasonMarksMD I offered two entire days Mon and Sun. Mason said football is more important 🤷‍♂️ Jamie and Graham from the team can probably do other days.

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

If Florida's Amendment 3 passes next week it'll be glorious to see the end of the criminalization of cannabis consumers in the nation's third most populous state. It'll be almost as glorious to see the continued national embarrassment of Ron DeSantis.

Watch Introducing #PULSE: #Psychedelic Use, #Law, and #Spiritual Experience, with @MasonMarksMD, @victorialitman, Swayam Bagaria, @JaimeClarkSoles, and Varun Soni on our YouTube channel now! youtu.be/8H1rjp45mis?si…

@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.

@PsychedelicWeek @KingFranklinIV @JackGorsline @victorialitman @baystaters @MasonMarksMD Football...?
