Great to see thoughtful reporting from the @AndrewJacobsNYT on psychedelics
It comes the same week the DEA asked HHS to review psilocybin’s Schedule I status
Rescheduling would mark a historic shift in the U.S. Canada should be paying close attention.

This National Hospice Palliative Care Week, we honour the individuals and families navigating serious illness—and the hospice and palliative care teams who walk alongside them with compassion and dedication
That must include the right to access effective, compassionate mental health care—including psilocybin, which remains needlessly out of reach for too many Canadians
We stand with this year’s theme: Palliative Care is For You
And we won’t stop until it includes psychedelic therapy too
