There is a reason that #SXSW2023 moved psychedelics to its own track this year, the stakes are getting bigger in our field. And, is it odd to hype up a panel about moving beyond the hype? Answer: only if you can learn about what hype to avoid. Join us on Sunday at 2:30!

So excited to see co-founder and COO Myriam Barthes speak at #SXSW on a panel titled, "Beyond the Hype: The Business of Psychedelics 2.0" alongside @DanGoldberg8 of @PaloSantoFund, @imrankhanImran of @SciPsychedelics at @UCBerkeley, and @healthyabnormal of @Tactogen.

Roland Griffiths' impact is no secret to the psychedelic community...His recent beautiful reflections tying his work in psychedelic therapy (especially to treat end-of-life anxiety) w/ his own recent serious cancer diagnosis are an inspiration. What a gem. videopress.com/v/uIA7rEov

@therealbrom Also, any early company is risky. So while we feel optimistic about the therapeutic value of our molecules, we aren't trying to sell the opportunity. Just feel free to check out what we're doing, and, if it resonates with you, get involved. The initiative is open until Dec 22.

@therealbrom And this initiative is less about raising money (most of that will happen in our Series A round) and more because we believe stakeholders should have opportunity to become shareholders. Those who built and maintain the psychedelic ecosystem should have a seat at the table.

84 Years Ago Today, Albert Hofmann First Synthesised LSD In a 1996 talk on his discovery, he pondered "what roles planning and chance play in the realization of the most important events in our lives." On his discovery of LSD: "just how much was destiny, how much free will?"

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??

Did you know: UCSF daycare is $2800/mo for infants? 😳😳😳 A UCSF 2bedroom is $2779/mo $5579/mo in just rent and daycare 🤯 To afford rent, daycare, and everything else, I have a 2x90min commute and live 30miles away from campus. It is very difficult. @UAW5810

This is one of my best twitter threads. I finally submitted a manuscript on DOM that will flesh out details, but it won't include these images, including those of Sasha's previously unknown first publication (of poems! when he was a kid!).

Happy birthday to Sasha Shulgin, born on this day in 1925. He invented hundreds of chemical technologies for exploring the mind and healing the soul.

This allows HHS to use a def that sees any unauthorized use as inherently abuse even in absence of harms and presence of benefit. Congress could clarify that abuse means harms and this small change would have a huge effect on how psychedelics are regulated.

I think this is an important point. CSA law defines the 8 factors and 3 findings that HHS must make before recommending that DEA schedule, but the law does not provide definition of abuse.

Companies like @MindstateDesign (@DillanDiNardo) and @TactogenInc (@mattbagg) are trying to advance psychedelic research to help with treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. But the government hasn't fully caught up yet...

The fate of synthetic drugs that act like hallucinogens is unclear after a recent DEA decision. Here's what it means for the psychedelics industry bloomberg.com/news/newslette… via @business ary

Looking forward to presenting on lessons from the 1967 STP/DOM episode at @psychedemia this weekend. In preparation, I asked @midjourney to imagine "the final slide from an amazing presentation on the history of psychedelic drugs". I will try to deliver on the promise of these:

I'm pro-MDMA therapy and pro-decriminalization of all drugs, but prospective users deserve to be informed of all risks. Labeling the MDMA comedown a "myth" was irresponsible (see link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Glad to see this critique. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Today the DEA withdrew their plan to prohibit DiPT, 4-HO-DiPT, 5-MeO-MiPT, 5-MeO-DET, and 5-MeO-αMT. As opposition mounted, they decided to cancel the hearing. Kratom was the first time public opposition prevented the prohibition of a substance, now we have five more successes!

I'm grateful to all the scientists and experts who were willing to come to the hearing. And I am impressed and grateful to have worked with Matt Zorn, who led our legal efforts and is, I think, the man of the hour.
