With regard to the Oregon bill, the next thing they did was approve psilocybin for treatment, for which the data are still very early and there's no clear evidence that this kind of treatment is scalable.
Imagine trying to make sense of the mixed messages we send about drugs: don't use them, but also don't stigmatize them. In this thought-provoking episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Dr. Bertha Madras, a Harvard Professor and former ONDCP Deputy Director, to untangle these contradictions and dive deep into the science of addiction. Dr.

Her conversation with Dr. Lev covers the critical need to view addiction through a medical lens, highlighting how intertwined addiction is with mental health issues. They discuss the harmful effects of stigmatizing drug use and how this stigma can hinder recovery efforts. Dr.
Madras also sheds light on the risks associated with psilocybin treatment and the broader implications of normalizing drug use. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of addiction and the importance of compassionate care. Tune in for a blend of scientific insight and heartfelt discussion that aims to change how we perceive and address addiction.
