For decades, there has been interest in using psychedelic substances such as psilocybin or lysergic acid -diethylamide for therapeutic applications. However, the classification of many of these drugs by the federal government as anesthetic in Annex 1 has prevented long -term and sensible research.
However, the flood can turn to the use of psychedelics as medicine, in relation to clinical studies and greater political will.
NPR reports that there are now between 500 and 750 ketamin clinics in the United States. Ketamine is a psychoactive connection used to treat depression. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has his support for psychedelics. And the state of Texas recently approved 50 million US dollars for researching the Ibogaine drug.
Thursdays about the “Sound of Ideas” we will discuss the landscape of psychedelics and how they are used in the medical field. We will speak specifically about clinical studies here in the northeast of Ohio and which mental problems are targeted.
Later an hour, our food series “The Menu” focuses on which local products we should be in the prospect if the harvest time approaches. Adam Schweitermann, the managing director of the Local Roots Market & Cafe in Wooster, discusses us to talk about what fruit and vegetables can be found in the local farmers markets.
