Inclusion = interesting ≠ endorsement.

Let’s get to it….

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@insidepharma @jimcramer Psychedelics and MDMA can make a real difference to mental health, especially for extreme depression and PTSD. We should take this seriously.

Robin Carhart-Harris @RCarhartHarris

Perhaps the term “double blind” should be dropped from the description of most clinical trials involving a psychoactive treatment arm? It only really holds if condition guess rate is chance, and it usually isn’t.

Balazs Szigeti @psybalazs

Small step in the right direction: the #WHO joins the #UnitedNations calling to understand #Mentalhealth as a problem that is wider than a biochemical issue. tinyurl.com/mprprcsd

A project months in the making: Insider put together a tracker of the 18 clinical trials in the psychedelics space furthest along in the regulatory process From me & the great @drcatherinesb who came up with the idea to put this together (1/6)

businessinsider.comThe 18 clinical trials that could make or break the future of the $100 billion psychedelics industryCompanies are trying to turn psychedelics into medical treatments by testing them in clinical trials. We identified the ones closest to approval.

As someone who went pretty far down the secular California style meditation path, I couldn’t agree more with @AdamMGrant There’s a lot of narcissism in the “woo” world, and it can be easy to become self-absorbed through these practices.

while most psychedelic companies are waiting on FDA approval or state-level decrim, Schedule 35 is just straight up selling psilocybin on the internet 🤯 they advertise openly on social media and top podcasts like Hot Boxin with @MikeTyson crazy schedule35.co

schedule35.coMagic Mushrooms Marketplace - Schedule35Schedule35 is the number one shop for premium magic mushroom and psilocybe cubensis microdose products.

Drugs with US FDA approval, and we still don't know how they work... Go! I'll start us off: Depakote

Until next time,

Greg, Matias, and Dina
