Thank you @SecVetAffairs for stopping by. Pleasure to meet you and show what we’ve built at @DeptVetAffairs for our veterans. We’re excited about the expansion of our Center @MSPsychedelics at the VA and the two new studies that have just begun here with MDMA and psilocybin.
Visited the VA Bronx Health Care System today to have a look at some of the groundbreaking research they are doing regarding potential psychedelic treatments for Veterans. Excellent work!

Great to hear this!
As I’ve said before, we are looking at psychedelic treatments as well as other alternative treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and virtual reality therapy. We are also working with Congress to approve more treatments. I am committed to doing what we can to make the

Proud to see the Bronx VA’s psychedelic research recognized✨ by Secretary Collins and former Under Secretary Elnahal in recent interviews. The Parsons Center launched the first randomized MDMA study inside the VA-- paving the way for future care 🚀🇺🇸. #Veterans

Thrilled our study - 1rst completed RCT at VA for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD - was mentioned. Vets will benefit from this work so we need to keep going to increase safe access. Excited about 3 upcoming psychedelic trials at our Center at Bronx VA. Stay tuned. 💜🙏
Please take a moment to watch this incredibly moving 60 Minutes segment following 9 veterans who sought psychedelic therapy abroad through the amazing work of Heroic Hearts. This show has been nearly a year in the making. It’s astonishing; most of these vets were suicidal going

A great panel with @TheNewHealthCl1 @LeorRoseman @yblokhin at DLD in Munich on war trauma, intergenerational trauma and psychedelics. Primarily an AI conference - people looking at how to connect the AI and psychedelic dots.

Some evidence suggests the substances can assist with PTSD and depression.

Sometimes we don’t need to rush to define something before we understand it. Like “what is a psychedelic.” @lauren_lepow convinced me of this and here’s the article where we lay out the argument for waiting to define. Interested in your thoughts.

Was a real privilege to represent the @VABronx and @DeptVetAffairs. Really felt everyone was in alignment with the need to learn more and provide access to veterans. An honor to meet members of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

A truly wonderful man in every way. A shining light and a great loss. May he rest in peace and may we embrace his legacy of deep humanity.
We are deeply saddened for the loss of Roland Griffiths after his battle with cancer. He was an unforgettable pioneer in psychedelic research, and nothing we now do would be possible without him. A huge inspiration for all of us ❤️
