This is the “why” behind the work we’re doing at @altheapbc.bsky.social not just helping people feel less bad, but helping them feel more alive.

As I’ve stepped deeper into this work, I’ve come to believe that regulated psychedelic care isn’t just about access to substances — it’s about access to meaning, safety, and human connection.

Psychedelics, when held in the right container, offer more than clinical outcomes. They invite grief to be witnessed, dignity to be restored, and possibility to reemerge.

Standardization gives us a pivot point to build upon, sharing what we've seen in the real world to iterate.

I love your question on what could be lost. If a tool is widely adopted and certain people are uniformly screened out because of it, it might create selection bias. What are your thoughts?

PRAC is utilizing an open source model, so contributions from the community are vital. To start, there will be a Review Board to review change requests and publish each version. Applications are open to join the first review board here: practool.org/review-board/
Review Board
Board members are responsible for collecting feedback from the wider collective and determining how to implement it within the PRAC Tool.

I cover psychedelics for Boulder Weekly! We're a small paper but I'd appreciate the add! :)

I saw a quote from a malpractice insurer (who recently pulled out of psychedelics) that was 5x more expensive to cover PAT!
