In keeping with my personal brand (Hermione gets into psychedelics), I am spending my weekend at @HorizonsConf. First up: The acute and long-term effects of psilocybin in healthy volunteers (increased compassion, empathy, gratitude, nature-connectedness, and well-being!!) 🧚‍♂️🍄⚡️ The second @HorizonsConf panel is on psilocybin as a treatment for major depressive disorder. SSRIs can be effective, but they often don’t work, and in some cases can do more harm. Depression affects 300 M people worldwide, and 1 in 6 in the U.S. We need new solutions (🧚‍♂️🍄⚡️).

If Kavanaugh gets confirmed, we power through to the midterms, and start a conversation about impeachment and court reform. Let’s take Clarence Thomas down with him. We’re not subjects of the law, we make the law. ✊ This is going to get harder before it gets easier, but it’s just the beginning. All these fuckers are going down. We’re just getting started. ☠️💕
