BIG NEWS: @AppropsDems asking @NIHDirector to research psychedelic therapies for treating PTSD, major depressive disorder, and other serious mental health conditions. PMC is proud to have advocated for this HUGE step in the right direction for plant medicine research. #Recovery

Appears Initiative 81 decriminalizing psychedelics brought by @DecrimNatureDC has passed. Melissa Lavasani, the city employee who championed the issue, says: “It’s okay to struggle and it’s okay to heal yourself with plant medicine.”

One D.C. race that looks to be settled: Initiative 81, which would decriminalize magic mushrooms and psychedelic plants, has a large advantage right now. Here's the back story on that: dcist.com/story/20/10/05…
