Topic: "Industry Self Regulation and Safe Access to Medicine: Risk Mitigation in the Era of Prohibition" Speaker: Joe Robinson Description: With interest in psychedelics for mental wellness building momentum and two distinct treatment paths emerging (the traditional underground model and the medical model), PsiloSafe is setting standards and guidelines to mitigate risk and improve outcomes for those that choose to work within the former. While the medical model shows great hope or some, it is the traditional treatment path that is showing the most promise and broader access. Some believe that Western Medicine, insurance companies, and the US healthcare system are as congruent for psychedelics as throwing a soccer ball onto an ice hockey rink. With two treatment pathways, it’s important that self-regulation is considered so that our community based participants stay safe.
