Connecticut Moving Forward With Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy – Health News Hub
A Connecticut legislative committee’s recent action to provide $3 million to explore psychedelic-assisted therapy using doctor-supervised MDMA or psilocybin is a great step forward in the field, according to two Institute of Living physicians. Both Dr. Godfrey Pearlson, founding director of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at Hartford HealthCare’s Institute of Living and an expert in the fields of marijuana and of psychosis, and Dr. Mirjana Domakonda, Director of the Clinical Trials Unit at the Institute of Living, greeted the action by the legislature’s Public Health Committee. “This area is really promising, but it’s still really only partly understood,” said…

Nathan Tinker: Repeal Connecticut’s medical marijuana certificate fees – Hartford Courant
Each year, medical marijuana patients must pay a $100 fee to the state to obtain a medical marijuana certificate, and $25 per year for certificates for their caregivers. These fees — which amount to about $5.3 million in total each year — effectively, and unfairly, tax medical marijuana patients for access to their medication. No other medical treatment or therapy requires such fees or taxes and, unlike prescription drugs, medical marijuana is a cash-only market. It is not covered by insurance of any sort, so patients must bear the full cost out-of-pocket.

The reasons Republicans gave for opposing Solicitor General Kagan were standard fare. They portrayed her as a closet political activist who, in the words of Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, had failed to provide assurance that she would “change her political ways or check her political instincts or goals at the courthouse door.” One of her home-state senators, Scott Brown, Republican of Massachusetts, who had introduced her at the committee hearing and was widely expected to vote for her, voted no at the last minute, having apparently discovered that she lacked judicial experience. While the opposition was tedious and vapid,…

Federal marijuana legalization is stopped in its tracks – Vox.com
It has been nearly a decade since the first time a majority of Americans supported legalizing cannabis. Two years ago, that number reached a record high, according to Gallup, with 68 percent supporting marijuana legalization — a number that has held steady since. That same year, as the coronavirus pandemic engulfed the country in March 2020, medical marijuana businesses were declared essential, allowing them to remain open along with pharmacies and grocery stores. It was a triumph for legalization advocates. As the New York Times reported, it was “official recognition that for some Americans, cannabis is as necessary as milk…
