This story is fiction? Man I did not get that until I googled for a few of the company and individual names and came up with nothing. What are the real analogous companies? Is this story actually illustrative of the recent history and state of this industry?
- eagsalazar2 7y agoOn http://aurynfund.org http://aurynfund.org they say they are a fund for supporting a better variety of psychedelic medicine businesses (equitable,affordable, for all) but they list no portfolio companies or otherwise no references to any such companies. Weird.
- Sileni 7y agoIt's still a legal grey area with the way the analogue act is written. Technically, just about any psychedelic COULD be treated as schedule 1 if it's intended for human consumption, because they all have fairly similar chemical structures and activity profiles. Best not to give prosecutors an easy list to run down if you're interested in furthering the cause.
- eagsalazar2 7y agoI'm still confused about to what degree this entire story is fiction or not. Just different names or do such companies actually exist? I did google (honestly only for a minute or two) and didn't find any such clinics in actual operation in SF.
- realthing 7y agoOf course its fiction - psychedelics are highly illegal in the US. There are some slow movements towards that changing (Mushrooms are decriminalized in some states AFAIK), but other than that, they remain a criminal issue in the eyes of the government. I think this stories poses a possible reality in the not too distant future, though. How distant remains to be seen. Looking at the pattern of cannabis' journey to legality, I Imagine psychedelic therapy is still some decade away, at least..
