I’ve had the good fortune to self-administer ketamine multiple times a week for three years. The positive impact of this psychedelic can’t be overstated. Given the social dynamics, affordable ketamine treatments delivered in a controlled setting are the solution to, not only a range of behavioral disorders, but to a radical reorganization of personal beliefs – particularly about oneself and one’s interactions with others. I’ve also had the great privilege of working alongside Klee Irwin – a visionary of the highest order. This is wonderful news for everyone who struggles with anxiety or dysphoria. Bravo!
