UC Irvine is creating new classes in the use of traditional psychedelics.
“Psychedelics are often misunderstood and stigmatized,” says Christopher Cleary, UC Irvine assistant clinical professor of nursing, “but the science tells a different story, and through research, they’re poised to unlock potential paths to healing.” Chris Cleary is about to become a key player in psychedelic medicine.
That said, Cleary — and UCI — are hardly alone. At least 30 schools are working on classes to teach future health care providers about the potential use of psychedelics. So, in that context, the Orange County Register asked Cleary about the future of the industry and UCI’s role in psychedelic medicine. A: UCI has a strong foundation in scholarship and scientific research. Preliminary research trials have provided compelling evidence that psychedelic-assisted therapies may offer positive outcomes for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and other mental health disorders.
Q: If the medicine isn’t yet FDA-approved, and remains illegal under federal law, how come I can go online and find so many guided mushroom therapists?
