Colorado has voted yes to legalize magic mushrooms! The Natural Medicine Health Act (aka Proposition 122) has passed and this historic measure will allow people to eventually receive magic mushrooms (technically psilocybin) at licensed healing centers across the sate. There is a lot of psilocybin research being conducted at Johns Hopkins, NYU, UCLA, showing promise for improving mental health.
In addition, there are other psychedelics that are now decriminalized in this measure - meaning people will not be prosecuted for personal possession. This is a huge deal. It's time to repeal outdated drug laws that do more harm than good to society. I’m thrilled to share more details in this video..

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has shown to be helpful for people who are struggling with depression and other mental health conditions.

If you know of anyone who’s struggling, I’ve created a YouTube playlist outlining the step-by-step process for this type of therapy.

This series is for educational purposes and people can seek out providers in their area as there are many clinics around the country now offering this type of therapy.

Please do research before making any decisions and I highly recommend that there is a mental health component when receiving ketamine treatment, e.g., there are some clinics that offer ketamine IV infusions without mental health support throughout the process. Find a place that does offer psychotherapy to support you.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to share of any reputable clinics that I’m aware of in different parts of the country.

Understanding the ketamine therapy process can feel overwhelming. This is the first video in the playlist explaining the ketamine therapy process. ,...
