Summary
Colorado has become the second state to legalize psychedelic therapy, allowing psilocybin to be used for treating PTSD and depression.
Tensions have arisen in conservative areas like Colorado Springs, where restrictions on “healing centers” have been passed despite objections from veterans advocating for the therapy.
Veterans argue it provides crucial mental health support, though concerns over FDA approval and potential risks persist.
Psilocybin therapy will be tightly regulated, with licensed facilitators overseeing treatments.
Advocates see it as a vital alternative for those unresponsive to traditional treatments.
i didn’t intend to ever imply conservatives ever actually gave a shit about veterans. i just meant they used to work a little harder to hide how much they hated veterans
Ahh yes! Good ole conservative virtue signaling. They are real life versions of the magnetic yellow ribbons people used to put on their car that say “we support the troops” but the magnet was as far as they went to actually supporting said troops.
