Oregon Psilocybin Society
“Amidst ongoing debates about the legalization of cannabis, a growing number of medical experts and activists seem to think that Americans might have an appetite for overhauling other drug-related restrictions. This past November, Oregon’s attorney general approved language for a ballot initiative that could legalize medicinal psilocybin, a psychedelic drug derived from “magic mushrooms.”
The coalition behind this initiative is not comprised of rogue radicals. It has allies nationwide, such as the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, whose mounting evidence suggests that psychedelics are making a thus-far graceful re-entry into the “mainstream.” When widely respected journalist Michael Pollan came out with a hyper-rational endorsement of psychedelics in his bestselling book How to Change Your Mind, minds did indeed begin to change, or at least open. It seems that the Schedule I classification of psychedelics, an artifact of the “psychedelic ‘60s,” may have gone too far, and that Americans may be ready to undo this mistake.”

Earlier this month, The American Psychological Association, the largest scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, released a statement recognizing the potential benefits of psychedelic therapy for mental health disorders.

Previous Horizons speakers such as Gabrielle Agin-Liebes, Clancy Cavnar, Ph.D., and Alicia Danforth, Ph.D. are recognized in the press release.
Please take a moment to share this with anyone you know in the psychology community who is curious but looking for validation from established bodies like the APA.

One can easily diagnose the disease of partisanship by observing bandwagon support of popular "branch" issues, while ignoring the root causes.

While we are currently enjoying a "psychedelic renaissance" with experts heralding psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a potential "paradigm shift" in mental health, knowledge of the unique therapeutic value of psychedelics is not new.
In 1970, when Congress passed the Controlled Substance Act and placed all of the classical psychedelics in Schedule 1 (and thus proscribed physicians from using them in their practice), over a thousand clinical papers had already been published attesting to the safety and profound efficacy of psychedelics. The Schedule 1 designation ("no currently accepted medical use" and "lack of accepted safety for use") was not an oversight. It was fraudulent.

Psychedelics Today
"When you allow yourself to be deeply touched and fully moved by music, then music can carry you beyond the boundaries of your daily sense of self – and you can see your life from a new perspective," says Kaelen. "What we have learned from both psychedelic therapy research, introspective music therapy formats and deep-listening practices, is the power of fully surrendering to an experience of art."

The United Nations and World Health Organization (WHO) have released a joint statement calling for drugs to be decriminalised across the world in order to enable users to receive healthcare rather than face persecution.
According to the statement, descrimination against drug users in healthcare settings "violates the most fundamental human rights protected in international treaties and in national laws and constitutions."
"Advocates of both the therapeutic and the spiritual use of psychedelics are already celebrating the start of the 'post-prohibition era.'"

Writer Ayelet Waldman on her experiences with depression and microdosing L*D:
"The protocol was simple. In order to participate in his international self-study group on the effects of sub-perceptual doses of L*D, she should take a microdose of the drug every third day. The suggested dose was a minuscule 10 micrograms, one 10th or less of what a person would have to take in order to experience an altered state of consciousness"

Researchers at Johns Hopkins and New York Universities are giving psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, to ordained ministers. In this research project they hope to provide insights into those sacred psychedelic moments that so often seem to transcend words.
They’re also hoping to gain insight into the broader benefits of mystical experiences—and it turns out, there may not be much of a difference between ones that are drug-induced and those that arise organically.

An in-depth looks at the medical potential of psychedelics, explained in 50+ studies:
"Psychedelics show promise in alleviating some of the conditions that have proven hardest to treat — addiction, obsessive compulsive disorder, end-of-life anxiety, and, in some cases, depression are notorious for their resistance to treatment. Smoking relapse rates, for instance, have been estimated at 60 to 90 percent within one year, even as smoking kills hundreds of thousands each year."

Inverse has selected the Beckley/Imperial L*D brain imaging study as the most important experiment of 2016. As co-director of the research programme with David Nutt, Amanda Feilding has been working towards this study on L*D for over thirty years. It was in fact the reason for establishing The Beckley Foundation, and with more studies planned there is much to look forward to 2017.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead - his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."
