Thank you Mark Dunlea for covering Climate Crisis and an especially huge thank you to Pete Sikora for cutting through all the cheering about Gov. Hochul and being willing to say how the Governor is sadly, not meeting the needs of the moment, in taking serious action on Climate! You correctly point out that serious action would need to be backed by $10 to $20 billion/year of funding and point out that $10 billion/year could be raised by raising the marginal tax rate by 5% for rich people who make the top 1% of income.

His job is advocating to eliminate barriers to psychedelic therapy and research by developing and implementing legal and policy strategy. In this interview, Ismail discusses the history of the war on drugs, the intrinsic differences between drug decriminalization and legalization, how MAPS has been able to achieve specific goals with the FDA under the Trump administration, Joe Biden’s "tough-on-crime-Democratic-Party" drug policy history, with respect to the R.A.V.E. act and the 1994 Crime Bill, how medical insurance will play in a landscape where psychedelics may become legalized or medicalized, how MAPS has become a thought leader with regards to social justice within the field of psychedelics, and whether Ismail believes psychedelics can bestow a knowledge of unity, oneness, and connectedness that can affect views and policy on racism and environmentalism.
