A Reason for Hope for Veterans with Lt. Gen Martin Steele and Brett Waters

LtGen Martin Steele (retired) and Brett Waters, Co-Founders of Reason for Hope, an advocacy group, are advancing legislation and policy proposals on issues related to psychedelic medicine and assisted therapies on behalf of combat veterans and families that have suffered due to substance abuse disorders. As opioid settlement funds begin to become available [pbs.org], there is a noticeable movement brewing across several US states and amongst bipartisan government officials to allocate those dollars to explore research and establish treatment centers offering psychedelic-assisted therapy to treat OUD. Together, General Steel and Mr. Waters are the frontline advocates working with governors and attorneys general in states like Arizona and Kentucky to pass legislation and secure nearly $50M in funding for these lifesaving treatments. Reason For Hope’s work has also reached the Federal government where they have introduced the Breakthrough Therapies Act (HR 1393) which would eliminate the many outdated hurdles researchers face when it comes to working with psychedelics that have shown therapeutic promise – like ibogaine, psilocybin and MDMA. LtGen Steele is a former high ranking official in the Marines, speaks to how these therapies could impact the military and veteran communities, which have for years struggled with serious mental health issues like addiction, PTSD and major depression disorder.
