We have taken an additional step recently in our effort to secure psilocybin therapeutic use for two of our cancer patients under State and Federal Right to Try (RTT) laws. On Monday 3/8/21, on behalf of AIMS Institute and Dr. Aggarwal, lawyers filed a petition for review in U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals of the DEA’s written decision last month to deny our request for RTT access to psilocybin from a duly licensed producer.
Below is the press release that went out and links to some news stories that have appeared.
We are looking for leading organizations committed to protecting the rights of seriously ill patients to have immediate access to safe use of psychedelic-assisted therapy to file ‘friend of the court’ amicus briefs in the case. Please get in touch if your organization or one you know of is interested in lending their voice of support to help our patients receive therapeutic access to the eligible investigational drug psilocybin under right to try. We have a great opportunity here to help advance this very needed therapeutic modality in contemporary hospice and palliative care. Patients treated by palliative care and mental health specialists in Canada have already been able to avail fungal psilocybin-assisted therapy legally under Canadian government exemptions for the past 7 months, and it has been very beneficial in palliation of existential and other distress by all reports.
