Psychedelics Weekly Breaking Convention, Decolonizing the Psychedelic Space, and How Colorado's Senate Bill 23-290 Will Affect Prop 122
In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, David speaks with Kyle, who recorded at Joe\u2019s place while he was away at Trailblazers in NYC.\xa0
They talk about David\u2019s trip to the UK last week for Breaking Convention, then discuss a recent Vice article about looking outside the binary and confined thinking of Western medicine and embracing the underground \u2013 that there are cheaper and more accessible peer support models and affinity groups for everyone, but in going underground, we need to be careful that more accessible models aren\u2019t dangerous or re-traumatizing. While businesses are competing to make headway in the psychedelic space, nobody is controlling all of it, which leads to both possibility and risk.\xa0
They cover SB23-290, the bill Senate President Steve Fenberg created to establish a regulatory framework for psilocybin access and administration in Colorado in lieu of the advisory board that should have been put in place as part of Prop 122. They break down the positives and negatives of this framework, and ask: how much do these committees who are passing legislation really know about psilocybin?\xa0
And they briefly discuss an article on what MDMA therapy may look like when MAPS hopefully gets approval via the FDA early next year, Rick Doblin\u2019s speech at Breaking Convention, and his concept of society eventually having \u201cnet zero trauma.\u201d
