On November 10, our own Vince Sliwoski joined a stellar panel convened by the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. A wide-ranging, insightful discussion ensued on what the burgeoning psychedelics industry can learn from cannabis regulation. For anyone who missed this marquee event, we’ve embedded a link to
Oregon is the first state to launch a regulated psilocybin industry.
