I think the hardest part about getting involved is "coming out of the psychedelic closet." Since psychedelics continue to be illegal and carry a cultural taboo, it is difficult to talk about these interests, even in academic/professional circles. The research is a great place to start. Being a clinician, you definitely are in a great place and role to be an advocate for these medicines/substances! But I guess the question is, are you ready to come out to colleagues about your interests? Personally, being in graduate school with this interest has been difficult at times. Ironically, it almost cost me a practicum/intern placement, but also having some of these interests on my resume landed me an interview. I think the public and some professional fields are slowly warming up to these ideas. It is an exciting time to get involved! I respect your privacy, but also wondering where are you located? Wondering if there are any groups/meetups around your area to get involved in? That's a great first step! :)

Thanks for the support!
