The District House is a benefit of District216. Come by for a portion or all of the evening, meet amazing members + guests, and interact with speakers on a variety of topics.
Topic: "Industry Self Regulation and Safe Access to Medicine: Risk Mitigation in the Era of Prohibition"
Description: With interest in psychedelics for mental wellness building momentum and two distinct treatment paths emerging (the traditional underground model and the medical model), PsiloSafe is setting standards and guidelines to mitigate risk and improve outcomes for those that choose to work within the former.
While the medical model shows great hope or some, it is the traditional treatment path that is showing the most promise and broader access. Some believe that Western Medicine, insurance companies, and the US healthcare system are as congruent for psychedelics as throwing a soccer ball onto an ice hockey rink. With two treatment pathways, it’s important that self-regulation is considered so that our community based participants stay safe.
When: Wednesday, August 13, 2025 from 5pm to 9pm (Speaker at 6:30pm)
