I wrote recently about the entry of private health insurance to psychedelic assisted therapy here in Australia. In particular, I sought clarity on how much (or little) it would cost clients.

@mja.com.au I sent you an email yesterday about an article by "medical practitioner" Cathy Keezelman - she is not a medical practitioner and I've reported her to AHPRA, along with the "facts" on repressed memories the Blue Knot Foundation promotes. I hope you'll consider removing her article.

They should, but only because the US holds its elections on a weekday. Just have your elections on a Saturday, so the polls can close at 6pm and you know who's won by 9pm and if you wake up hungover it's ok because it's Sunday and you probably don't have to go to work.
Also, compulsory voting.

It’ll never not be wild to me how early the polls close in US elections. They start closing at 7pm. They should be open until at least 10pm

Funnily enough, one of my favourites so far is the Psychedelic Centrist Club t-shirt. I can’t see it selling well though: everyone who isn’t a centrist hates centrists. Almost everyone who is a centrist claims they’re not centrists.
I decided there weren’t enough shirts that captured my sense of ‘WTF?’ at the world of psychedelic business & politics.
