@DrugPolicyOrg @PetrieFlom @LarissaJMaier Thank you!

Treat the earth like home! This #WorldSoilDay, we're celebrating the power of CANNABIS to help combat climate change. Help us celebrate World Soil Day with @AlterEcoSF & others by posting a photo of #4Soil on your palm! Heal soil, Heal Earth!

@DrBronner #allone #toothpaste is amazing. The best I’ve used ever! Good-bye Tom’s. I’m a true convert!

We are all one whether we recognize it or not. The challenge in front of each of us is to behave like the community that we are. We must work together, laying aside our politics, to slow the spread of #COVIDー19. It’s a global pandemic not a political issue. @JoeBiden wants this.

Let your past make you a better human being, not a bitter one. #healing #love #consciousness #affirmation #MindfulMonday

@BenSessa @awakn_ls We need to change the laws around psychedelics by implementing new laws. Actually “changing” the laws on the books. Oregon took the first step this year. In 2023, people will see it’s not about heavy handed regulation, but is smart, sensible, accessible and broad in diversity.

@TeriKrebs @Scott_Wiener One thing that Americans can say we did right in 2020 - Comprehensive Decriminalization. Oregon led the way this year. We absolutely expect the failed war on drugs to be dismantled in many states in the years ahead.

Awesome! Thanks so much, @Scott_Wiener :)

@BrettWHarper @Oregonian This measure is about macro-dosing at a service center with a trained and licensed facilitator.

Oregon becomes first state to legalize psychedelic mushrooms trib.al/afsvKcM

@RCarhartHarris I’ve only read the abstract and the introduction but it’s fascinating thus far. Can’t wait to finish tonight.

Delighted to bring you this new (open access) review paper with Ari Brouwer on the 'Pivotal Mental State'. A new construct closely related to psychedelic states: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

@DoctorNorman I believe the younger one is when they learn the skills of meditation the better they will be at managing their emotions as adults, which would likely result in less depression and violence, both in personal relationships and in society in general. It should be implemented.

How do you feel about #meditation in school programs? 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️ youtube.com/watch?v=rSkFdY…

@DrBronner @RiseUpIn A great goal. Congratulations to @RiseUpIn!

Of @RiseUpIn, "Organization leaders say the goal is to help participants stay out of prison by giving them skills to earn a sustainable income and services to help them adapt to life outside prison."

Congratulations, @RiseUpIn, for winning Nonprofit of the Year for 2020 in California District 71! sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/sa…

@MAPSCanada @opsbuzz @DrBronner Thank you 🙏🏻

Huge congratulations from all MAPS Canada, to Tom and @sheriseckert, and the (O.P.S.) @opsbuzz organzation for success in passing Initiative 109 to legalize Psilocybin Assisted Therapy. A first step in providing, safe access to a now legal, psychedelic treatment. @DrBronner

@realDonaldTrump You actually lost sir. The people have decided!

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

Joe #Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided US. Now to the task of getting #Trump out of our #WhiteHouse! oregonlive.com/politics/2020/…

@Drug_Researcher @BryonAdinoff “If Oregon's program mirrors the results Johnson has seen in his own and other clinical research, "I think it does have a chance of helping patients, with an acceptable level of risk." - this is exactly why we included a 2 year development period. We want to get this right.

I was interviewed about the Oregon #psilocybin therapy initiative which passed by a large margin. In the same story my colleague @BryonAdinoff provided insights about the expansion of cannabis regulation to new states. Big election for drug policy reform! medpagetoday.com/publichealthpo…

Oregonians like not only being progressive but also being smart regarding how we implement psychedelics into our culture and reduce arrests for personal possession of drugs. Jail doesn’t help someone who may or may not need help with addictions, compassionate care does.

@MAPSCanada Will do. Thank you for your work. 🙏🏻

This survey is sponsored by MAPS Canada and The University of British Columbia – Department of Psychology and includes several different groups of researchers. Assist pychedelic science with an anonymous 15-30 minute survey of your psychedelic experiences. ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_25…

@Drug_Researcher This is excellent news @Drug_Researcher. Thank you and your colleagues for the ongoing diligence in the clinical studies. Hoping to see phase 3 start soon. People are hurting and need access to this type of healing. 🙏🏻

We just published the 1st randomized study of #psilocybin for major depressive disorder. Over two thirds had clinically significant response & over half were in remission at follow up visits. Effect sizes met the definition of "huge" (Cohen's d=2 for stats nerds) or much larger.
