Utah Mushroom Therapy, a new non-profit, is working to garner public support through this online petition.
"I hope nobody mistakes this for an effort or an excuse to do illegal drugs. This is not what this is about. This is about bringing it to people who need it, in [a] mental health crisis," according to its Bridger Lee Jensen, founder of Utah Mushroom Therapy. Beck is currently involved in a clinical study that examines the effect psilocybin has on cancer patients who experience anxiety and depression. The results are scheduled to be published early this year.
"I think the psilocybin and these kinds of medications are going to be helpful for patients regardless of whether they have cancer or not,” Beck said.
