Yesterday @TimmyJSDavis & @AlexPiot joined our chair @charlotte2153 & patron @DehennaDavison in a meeting with @DHSCgovuk Minister @Andrew4Pendle. We urged him to write to @CPhilpOfficial at @ukhomeoffice to ask ACMD to review the evidence w/ a view to rescheduling #psilocybin.
@AlexPiot, Director of Research at @drugpolicyUK will be bringing us up to speed with the evolving landscape of UK drug policy, focusing on the work being done to overcome regulatory hurdles impeding the transition from psychedelic research to therapeutic application.
Such an important and thoughtful policy proposal about the medical evidence psilocybin could benefit those with PTSD and depression - fully support @charlotte2153 campaign. 👇

Millions of people in the UK are struggling with mental health conditions like PTSD and depression, and haven't been helped by conventional treatments; psilocybin therapy could be part of the answer. Thanks to @laurenshirreff & @tweetsbyames for the chat! telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
