Advocating for Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy
ADAPT (Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Plant medicine Treatment) is a grassroots organization based in Washington state. Our mission is to advocate for the responsible use of psilocybin-assisted therapy in clinical settings for mental health treatment. We believe that psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms, has the potential to revolutionize mental health care.
Why Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Matters
- Efficacy: Research suggests that psilocybin can have profound effects on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It has shown promise in providing relief where traditional treatments have fallen short.
- Holistic Approach: Psilocybin-assisted therapy takes a holistic approach, addressing not only symptoms but also underlying emotional and psychological issues. It allows individuals to explore their consciousness and gain insights that can lead to lasting healing.
- Reduced Stigma: By advocating for psilocybin-assisted therapy, we aim to reduce the stigma associated with mental health treatments. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe and effective options.
Our Goal
Our goal is to promote legislative actions that will make psilocybin-assisted therapy legal within the state of Washington. We are inspired by the success of Oregon’s Measure 109, which established a regulated psilocybin program. We envision a similar system in Washington—one that prioritizes safety, education, and accessibility.
Current Status
As of now, no specific bill related to psilocybin-assisted therapy has been passed in Washington. However, there is growing interest among lawmakers, mental health professionals, and the public. ADAPT actively engages with legislators, community leaders, and advocacy groups to raise awareness and build support for this important cause.
Join us in our mission to create a more compassionate and effective mental health care system. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future—one where psilocybin-assisted therapy is a viable option for those in need.
