'Cuz conservatives prefer #veterans to suffer from #PTSD!

#Psychedelic therapy begins in #Colorado, causing tension between conservatives and veterans

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — "As Colorado becomes the second state to legalize psychedelic therapy this week, a clash is playing out in #ColoradoSprings, where conservative leaders are restricting the treatment over objections from some of the city’s 90,000 veterans, who’ve become flagbearers for psychedelic therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Colorado residents voted to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the chemical compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, in a 2022 ballot measure, launching two years of rulemaking before it could be used to treat conditions such as depression and PTSD.

"This week, companies and people will be able to apply for licenses to administer the mind-altering drug, though treatment will likely not be available for some months as applications are processed.

"Colorado joined Oregon in legalizing #psilocybin therapy, though the drug remains illegal in most other states and federally. Over the last year, a growing number of Oregon cities have voted to ban psilocybin. While Colorado metros cannot ban the treatment under state law, several conservative cities have worked to preemptively restrict what are known as 'healing centers.'"

Psychedelic therapy begins in Colorado

Colorado becomes the second state to allow psychedelic therapy this week after two years of rulemaking. State residents voted in 2022 to decriminalize psilocybin, the chemical compound found in psychedelic mushrooms. But in conservative Colorado Springs, some have sought to restrict the places where the therapy can be administered. The proposed restrictions pitted some of the 90,000 veterans who call the city home against conservative leaders wary of too liberal a drug policy. Combat veterans have become surprising advocates for psychedelic therapy as a PTSD treatment. Research on psychedelic drugs in treating mental health conditions is in its early stages, and some remain concerned that scientists and doctors don't yet know enough for the treatment to be safe.
