Platform of Regulations
Our Platform includes four overlapping categories. Maximizing Health and Wellness emphasizes the importance of an open-minded approach to treatment as well as the psychiatric and somatic benefits offered by presently prohibited medications. Harm Reduction provides clear and concise policy statements that will guide our approach to drug use and misuse. Cannabis continues our ongoing work on cannabis regulation and legalization. Psychedelics acknowledges the explosion of clinical research in psychedelic medicine.
