Oakland Community Health Initiative
Friends,
As you may know, I have been pioneering work with the emerging psychedelic renaissance, including advising people on what is legal in decriminalized cities, working with therapists interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy, a company producing cGMP psilocybin for clinical trials, and advising groups interested in religious exemptions for psychedelics under the Controlled Substances Act. Click here for my latest article on this topic, providing an overview of the Oakland Community Health Initiative that would allow for City-certified psychedelic ceremonies. If you have any questions about this topic, or anything related to emerging field of psychedelics, please contact me directly. Thank you,
Sean T. McAllister
