Thanks @hubermanlab for the summary of latest health science on the drug that’s not a “drug” (funny to hear the phrase “alcohol and drugs” - like saying “Australians and human beings”: category confusion!)

Looking forward to discussing #psychedelics for #addiction with @zabicky @POCpsychedelics @BenSessa and @DrKennethTupper in our Friday evening panel later this week! fromresearchtoreality.com @R2RToronto2022 #R2R2022 #psychedelicscience

Congratulations @N_Gukasyan @Drug_Researcher and team! Great timing for new results in #psychedelicmedicine, with @WPA_Psychiatry today calling for new treatments in global epidemic of #depression wpanet.org/post/published-to…
Big news! We've published our 1-year follow-up of our trial of #psilocybin for depression. The massive decreases in depression were unshaken a year later. Mystical experience in the session was related to improved well-being a year later. Great thread by 1st author @N_Gukasyan

Hmm - I wonder if there are new medication-assisted forms of #psychotherapy or traditional indigenous healing practices that might be fast-tracked for research and deployment to help with this @TheLancetPsych? #psychedelic #medicine #entheogen #healing
Depression is overlooked & underfunded. New Lancet-@WPA_Psychiatry Commission calls for whole-of-society approach to alleviate one of the world's leading causes of avoidable suffering & premature deaths. #UniteAgainstDepression ➡️ hubs.li/Q014fln30

My latest: a clarification on Canada's new regulations for psilocybin and MDMA. lucid.news/health-canada-tak… Spoiler alert: they haven't legalised psychedelics, they just loosened restrictions for people facing death. Still. It's a start. @lucidnewssite @TheraPsil

#publichealth leadership par excellence! Congratulations 👍
With the passing of the Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Bill through its third reading, Aotearoa becomes the first country in the world to have explicitly legal drug checking. More here: knowyourstuff.nz/2021/11/23/…

Depends on what you mean by the word “drug” - a somewhat slippery and polysemic noun in the English language: drkennethtupper.com/s/Psycho… #drug #discourse #sociolinguistics #stigma #language
Unpopular opinion... If you use #psychedelics you are a drug user.
