This interdisciplinary panel and discussion will focus on how psychedelic-assisted therapy, medical marijuana, and occupational therapy are helping some veterans for whom conventional treatments are not working. What does a federally approved clinical marijuana study look like for PTSD? What does an MDMA-assisted therapy study protocol look like? How does marijuana help de-escalate PTSD triggers? And what is going on in Congress to address this issue at the federal level?

Featuring Shawn Majors, Alexander Neumeister, Marcela Ot'alora, Bill Piper, Steph Sherer, and Sue Sisley

The International Drug Policy Reform Conference takes place every two years and draws a wide range of participants including students, grassroots activists, scholars and other researchers, city, state and federal elected officials, people in recovery as well as active drug users, law enforcement officers, treatment providers and public health advocates.
