The board includes doctors, researchers, therapists and fungi experts, among others, according to a press release.
“Like many, I was initially skeptical when I first heard of Measure 109,” said Brown in the release. “But if we can help people suffering from PTSD, depression, trauma and addiction including veterans, cancer patients, and others supervised psilocybin therapy is a treatment worthy of further consideration.”
