As a result of a partnership we initiated 3 years ago with @TheraPsil, Health Canada has provided legal access to psilocybin for the first cluster headache patient. We are hopeful that the barriers to access will continue to fall everywhere. preventsuffering.org/wp-content/upl…

So many wonderful quotes from our upcoming #Sentientism episode with @JonLeighton1 @OPISOrg 🤩 "...without subjective experience there's nothing for anything to matter to." "This is what makes suffering unique... suffering is a state of being that inherently calls for action."
