the quality of the relationship between a patient and their therapist was one of the strongest predictors of treatment outcome in a psilocybin study
not everyone needs a therapist in the room, obviously, but for people with TRD or PTSD... they likely do.

Oregon’s current psilocybin services program offers an important early case study for other regions looking to facilitate access to psychedelics. In a recent paper, CPCR researchers analyzed the first full year of data from the Oregon Health Authority, examining how Oregon’s policy has balanced safety and access to psychedelics outside of clinical settings.

New pilot study shows two doses of psilocybin reduced symptom burden by ~40% in people with post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD), with improvements in pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood lasting up to 6 months. Findings are still very preliminary, but suggests psilocybin may be a new avenue for treating PTLD and possibly similar illnesses.

70% of Americans can’t afford a median home. Why?
Broken money forced people to use real estate as savings, making homes unaffordable. Houses aren’t savings accounts, they’re meant to be lived in.
#Bitcoin demonetizes housing, drives prices down and puts families back in homes.

Vancouver citizen @anilpatel gave a presentation to Mayor Ken Sim, urging the city to study Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy. The Mayor called it "arguably one of the best presentations in the council chamber during my time in office."

The @DEAHQ shenanigans vis a vis the rescheduling process are persistent and outrageous. Both the agency and senior personnel need to be held responsible, and legislation introduced to remove #DEA from control over drug scheduling.

NYDIG is about to unlock one of the largest investable pools of capital in the entire financial system—insurance float—and channel it into Bitcoin-backed loans. This is a big deal.

You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread

$100,000 a Bitcoin doesn't just represent a price.
It represents that the world is gradually acknowledging Bitcoin as the reserve currency of the future.
It represents a rejection of the existing financial system.
It represents financial freedom.
