Obtaining DEA License to Grow Psilocybin Mushrooms
Description:
Obtaining a DEA license to manufacture any drugs in schedule one is a difficult challenge. Very few people in the US have been able to crack the code except large pharmaceutical companies and rare other for-profit entities. It is urgent we seek to open access to MDMA- and psilocybin-assisted therapy for Veterans and other trauma victims who are at serious risk of suicide and have exhausted all other options.
1000s of Veterans/first responders who nearly lost all hope after struggling through (sometimes double digit) ineffective medications and therapies – which often left them worse off than where they started – are forced to seek plant medicines and other psychedelics on the illicit market. But there are methods to apply for a DEA Schedule 1 manufacturing license independently.
