For Veterans, Psychedelic Access Must Mean More Than Access To A Drug
PTSD
Summary

Comprehensive mental health care for veterans with PTSD requires more than just access to psychedelic substances—it demands therapeutic support and clinical infrastructure. According to Melissa Scannell of the Indiana Psychedelic Society, veterans have long struggled within a mental health system focused on symptom management rather than lasting recovery. The op-ed emphasizes that psychedelic therapy must be paired with professional psychological guidance, trauma-informed care, and integration support to be truly effective. This perspective highlights the critical gap between drug availability and evidence-based therapeutic protocols needed to address the complex mental health needs of military service members.

Study Finds No Link Between THC and Extended Psychiatric Hospital Stays in Depression Cases

A new study published in Brain and Behavior analyzed 743 psychiatric hospital admissions for adults with major depression in the United States and found no significant association between THC presence and longer hospital stays or increased 30-day readmission rates. The research challenges assumptions about cannabis use complicating depression treatment outcomes. These findings suggest that THC detection alone may not be a reliable predictor of worse psychiatric hospitalization outcomes in depressed patients. The study provides valuable data for healthcare providers and patients considering cannabis use alongside depression management.

Colorado Implements Stricter Testing Standards for Cannabis Concentrates

Starting September 28, Colorado will require cannabis testing laboratories to screen for 17 additional residual solvents in chemically-extracted cannabis concentrates. This regulatory enhancement aims to ensure consumer safety by detecting harmful chemical residues that may remain from extraction processes using solvents like butane, propane, or ethanol. The new testing requirements also apply to certain hemp-derived products entering the regulated market. This measure reflects Colorado's commitment to maintaining rigorous quality standards for cannabis products, protecting patients and consumers from potential exposure to toxic solvent residues that could pose respiratory and systemic health risks.

Maryland Veterinarians Now Authorized to Discuss Cannabis Products for Pets

Maryland's new legislation permits veterinarians to provide guidance on cannabis products for animals, offering pet owners professional medical advice before turning to unregulated dispensaries or online sources. This regulatory shift recognizes the growing interest in cannabinoid therapies for companion animals, particularly for conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, and arthritis. Veterinary consultation ensures proper dosing, product quality, and safety considerations specific to different animal species and individual health profiles. The change addresses a critical gap where pet owners previously sought cannabis solutions without professional veterinary oversight, potentially exposing animals to unsafe products or inappropriate dosing. This development reflects evolving medical and regulatory perspectives on cannabinoid applications in veterinary medicine.

Historic Press Freedom Case Rooted in High Times Founder's Pie Protest

A landmark press freedom case that just blocked Trump's media ban traces its origins to Tom Forçade, founder of High Times magazine, who threw a cheese pie at a Commission on Obscenity and Pornography member in the 1970s. When the Secret Service denied Forçade a White House press pass citing the incident, he filed suit alongside Nation correspondent Robert Sherrill in what became the precedent-setting case Sherrill v. Knight. This week, a Trump-appointed federal judge invoked this decades-old ruling to order the White House to restore press credentials for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, demonstrating how Forçade's act of protest established enduring protections for press access and freedom.
