Recently, the decriminalization of psilocybin (by various cities) has been in the news as an emerging medicine.
When it comes to safety, the two main factors to consider are production (standards and regulation) and research. Even if you were able to verify the production standards and active ingredients, there’s just not enough scientific literature to support the safety of consuming high levels of delta-8-THC in the long term.
However, social and economic barriers like racial stereotypes and lack of access to care centers have historically barred Hispanic community members from seeking medical cannabis and participating in clinicaltrials. Supply chains are disrupted as a result, and consumers grow fearful of buying hemp.
It seems completely backwards that an unregulated product that gets people “high” and is synthesized in a lab can be sold at gas stations and smoke shops but naturally derived Delta 9-THC must go through rigorous safety testing and can only be sold and handled by licensed companies.
Accordingly, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) no longer has any claim to interfere with the interstate commerce of hemp products, so as long as the THC level is at or below 0.3%. While the DEA is now officially out of the hemp regulation business, the U.S. The FDA’s position on CBD is unsettled and unsupported by law.

Early on in the study, criticism over the poor quality and low potency of the NIDA-supplied cannabis prompted Johns Hopkins University to withdraw from the multi-year clinicaltrials.
At the same time, because of the federal illegality of cannabis, the federal government has routinely denied third party requests for further research in regards to its potential medical benefits, among other health and safety impacts. for various studies, including FDA-approved clinicaltrials.
Then, in November 2019, the FDA granted the designation to the nonprofit Usona Institute to study psilocybin’s effect on major depressive order, for which clinicaltrials are currently under way.

This year, we are completing the second Phase 3 clinicaltrial of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD , the final stage prior to requesting FDA approval for a new prescription treatment to help heal trauma. Later that year, Doblin sued the DEA for the first time. Rick Doblin, Ph.D., and Michael Mithoefer, M.D., Lyle Craker, Ph.D.,
The availability of larger quantities of cGMP-compliant MDMA will facilitate ongoing clinicaltrials and provide for future therapeutic use following anticipated regulatory approvals. in each of the four validation trials with an acceptable yield, which is a noteworthy accomplishment.
8] Spravato is derived from ketamine and categorized by DEA as a Schedule III controlled substance. To mitigate safety risks, FDA implemented a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) with elements to assure safe use (ETASU) whereby patients self-administer the spray in their healthcare provider’s office under medical supervision.
Complementary businesses combine to create a preeminent North American platform with operations spanning 13 wellness clinics, four research sites and one bioanalytical laboratory. Hosting clinicaltrials for MDMA ( MAPS Public Benefit Corporation), psilocybin (the Usona Institute), LSD (MindMed) and ketamine (the University of Utah ).
Clinicaltrials are producing promising results, creating enthusiasm for commercializing and patenting psychedelics. 1025, 1026 (2021) (reporting significant improvement of PTSD symptoms following treatment with MDMA in clinicaltrial); see also Alec J.

Similar to ketamine, psilocybin has shown great promise in clinicaltrials for helping to effectively treat depression and PTSD (and we’ve written about psilocybin several times on this blog, including here and here ). The post The Ketamine Clinic Craze: Legalities and Possibilities appeared first on Harris Bricken.
To acknowledge its impressive safety record and potential for treating depression more effectively than existing therapies, the Food and Drug Administration designated psilocybin a breakthrough therapy in 2018 and 2019 for treating drug-resistant depression and major depressive disorder.
