Dear Editor,
I was heartened to read that Vermont is studying the risks and potential benefits of psychedelic therapy.
Having benefited much from such therapy, I urge the study group to learn from challenges and successes of such programs in Colorado, Oregon and Utah.
Rigorous standards are essential to any form of therapy, and must be established in Vermont. Once those are in place, I think we can move ahead with confidence. To my mind, the potential benefits far outweigh the risks, and as in other states, we’ll continue learning as we go.
