Is There a Legal Risk in Psychodelics?
I went into medicine to help people. Sometimes helping people means me doing the tap dance of tapping a rat, you know, dancing around the laws. There's a line between telling a patient, i think something like this would help you and aiding and abetting a legal activity. I'm not an attorney, but i've consulted some, and we do have a precedent for psychadelic work. And the precedent is canabas. So looking at cannabas, as was explained to me by a couple of other attorneys, is that when doctors who were recommending canabas were getting called to explain themselves, they were ultimately winning those cases because of free speech.
