While the high cost of services (possibly unavoidable under current rules) is a constant focus, particularly among advocates and the broader psychedelic community, I often find myself debating the terminology for psilocybin services under Measure 109, particularly the use of the term “therapy.” Using “therapy” to describe services under Measure 109 is… a misnomer.

Right now, psychedelics are providing such re-enchantment for people. Visions, meaningful dreams, seemingly miraculous healing and the intervention of the spiritual realm into our daily lives can suddenly seem like a possibility once again. I realized the Psychedelic Renaissance had arrived and churches are woefully unprepared. As I entered my second year at Duke Divinity…

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) founding constitution defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Leaving psychedelics in the hands of the biomedical industry and state-regulated facilities can undermine their potential by excluding more diverse “sets and settings” (a term describing how…
