Meeting the special operations vets and hearing their stories of healing by ibogaine or MDMA therapy was incredibly moving. The PTSD just disappeared. Families reunited. Nightmares ended. Cabinets full of presprciption meds abandoned. Can’t wait for the documentaries covering all this to come out.

From a veteran who was cured of his PTSD with psychedelic therapy: “We do a disservice to people if we tell them that PTSD can’t be cured. They have secondary depression and take their life when they can’t take it any more.” Instead, they can hope for peace of mind — they don’t have to take it any more once these therapies with supermajority cure rates become legal. While that will take years, VETS helps them travel to our neighboring countries (Mexico or Canada) to find healing legally.

From a doctor at the Veterans Administration, the largest mental health care provider in the U.S.: “Care providers are proactively asking for psychedelics. They are burned out and need something that works.”

2m vets come to the VA for mental health care, and PTSD is the primary condition.

  1. and we raised an extra $1M for VETS at the end of the event, with a lead donation by Blake (on video), founder of Tom’s ShoesTime to celebrate peace

  2. And the Congressional Caucus announced today:

    "Led by Representatives Lou Correa (D-CA) and Jack Bergman (R-MI), the caucus will consist of bipartisan members of Congress committed to “addressing ways to alleviate the national mental health crisis through psychedelic science and research.” PACT looks to advance research into the therapeutic use of psychedelic compounds and ensure any FDA-approved psychedelic-assisted therapies are available to those in need, in accordance with the law.

    The goals of this caucus are to:

    • Increase awareness of psychedelic-assisted therapies among members of Congress and their staffs,
    • Support increases in federal funding for psychedelic science, and
    • Examine regulatory impediments to psychedelic research."
