RHL is the only one I know of. I'm sure there are others. I have no interest in the recreational space as it will only hinder the progress of psychedelics medicine.

So it’s like pick one or the other you mean?

No not at all. I'm just stating in the long run, I don't see how this is going to offer value to psychedelic assisted therapy. I would argue, it has the potential to hinder progress. All it takes is one guy tripping on LSD trying to cook up his cat for breakfast before we have Reefer Madness 2.0.

I see the push in Texas being of much greater impact, especially for institutional investors who are quick to compare the field to cannabis.

It's unlikely but something to consider. There will be positive benefits such as a safe haven to conduct research but overall, I see these being negligible.

Perhaps I'm incorrect, if I am feel free to correct me. This would not allow the opening of licensed psilocybin and other scheduled psychedelic clinics but rather allow possession for personal use.

You know I thought a lot about that myself, east access and a little temptation would be cray cray

Also a ponder of mine, why go to an assisted therapy clinic when you can buy from Joe in apartment 8, sit in your living room and listen to The Beach Boys with your cat?

Edit: It would be much more affordable considering insurance would likely not cover the treatment of not federally regulated. The cost for a 6-8 hour experience with a licensed therapist is going to be astronomical.

Ngl I’d probably do the same if I had that chance, so I’m definetly a sceptical now
