This year I discovered a medication which could have been available to me decades ago. Politicians used drug hysteria to prohibit the research and development of drugs that help people with mental conditions such as PTSD and depression. If similar restrictions had been placed on insulin, people with diabetes would have had to create our own insulin, experiment on our own, and either died from overdosing or lost limbs from underdosing.

This is what is happening with psychedelic medicines and it must end. Vote “yes” on Question 4. Please.
