The chapter discusses the standards and licensing requirements for treatment centers that administer psychedelics in Oregon, including licenses for facilitators, producers, testing labs, and service centers. It explores the balance between safety and access, as well as the efforts in California to pass a bill for a regulated access system.
From therapeutic-assisted MDMA to decriminalized psilocybin and microdosing, movements to legalize psychedelics are everywhere. California-based Joe Green is a prominent voice in the movement, as the co-founder and President of the Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative (PSFC). Kara asks him about the recent unfavorable headlines (including concerns over Elon Musk’s potential drug use and Matthew Perry’s death from ‘acute effects of ketamine’) and poses a question from Investigative Reporter Olivia Goldhill about how proselytizers can be held to account.
