Super solid video summary. Worth the watch, and I hope the FDA takes a few minutes to consider it. cc: U.S. FDA

Today the FDA rejected MDMA for treatment of PTSD. A terrible blow to patients, researchers, drug policy reformers (yes, medicalization facilitates policy reform), and the many brilliant people that worked tirelessly for decades to prove the safety and efficacy of this treatment.

Drug-induced homicide (DIH) laws & severe penalties for people who sell or share drugs that are involved in a drug overdose have been on the rise and in the news. These laws increase overdose risk, worsen racial disparities, & cost resources – and there's no evidence they work 🧵

Last year Kentucky was on the verge of dedicating $42,000,000 to treat opioid addiction using ibogaine. My interview with Bryan Hubbard, former chair of Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission, discusses how this promising program fell apart. youtu.be/co-q4v1IQt0?si…

I’m becoming increasing concerned about a journalistic pendulum swing wrt the topic of psychedelic science and medicine. Much does not feel constructive, well intentioned, nor well anchored to science. Perhaps because of the journalistic code to exaggerate & sensationalise.

Delighted to hear that Ross Ulbricht has been pardoned!

Great reporting from Rachel Nuwer and Andrew Jacobs on the many people who were harmed by a self-appointed victims' rights advocacy group who lied to the FDA to prevent MDMA from being approved. nytimes.com/2025/02/04/hea…

Not remotely true. Regarding the article: ‘Leftist’ is a doubly inaccurate characterisation: leftist groups have coherence of aims, however impractical realisation might be, whereas Psymposia has worked largely opportunistically, feeding off the energy of the psychedelic

I recently interviewed Dr. Rick Strassman about his new book that details self-experiments with a variety of psychoactive drugs and current research on DMT tolerance. You can listen to it here: patreon.com/posts/pod-123-…

One of the things I loved about chatGPT was that it didn't litter any discussion relating to chemistry and controlled substances with these sorts of empty disclaimers, it seems those days are over.

The most recent episode of my podcast contains the biggest leak of formerly restricted forensic chemistry literature in history, I recommend listening and downloading the the PDFs as a backup. Highly educational. patreon.com/posts/pod-124-…

My friend Uncle Fester got into some legal trouble (summarized in the attached link) and so I've organized a fundraiser to help pay his legal pills and get him back on his feet. All profits from these shirts go directly to Fester’s legal defense. Only 100 left!
