How Women Are Influencing Legal Access to Psychedelic Medicines
with Courtney Barnes, Susan Chapelle, Sherry Boodram and Sonia Stringer
When will we finally have legal access to psychedelic-assisted therapy, especially for people who are suffering from end of life anxiety, crippling PTSD and others who just can’t afford to wait?
The legal landscape governing psychedelics is changing so quickly in North America, many people are having a tough time keeping up with the latest changes and the implications of new regulations.
In this episode, you’ll hear from three influential women involved in shaping and enforcing psychedelic policy, who will help to demystify the latest legal changes.
We’ll be covering the latest updates regarding:
The newest decriminalization changes and ballot initiatives re: psychedelic access in the United States as well as recent and future initiatives that could greatly accelerate access to psychedelic therapy in the next year or two
How the current laws in Canada are shifting quickly, and what’s likely to happen regarding access to psychedelic-therapy in this country in the next year or two
Important policy issues that need to be considered AFTER the laws are changed if we want to ensure that psychedelic regulations don’t mirror the issues created in the cannabis industry
Why having women’s voices and feminine leadership in this space is critical in the shaping of effective laws and regulations governing psychedelics.
