Um, before we dig into any of that for you, could you talk to us, um, about what, what is HAF, Healing Advocacy Fund?
11:14
Yeah.
11:15
Um, so Healing Advocacy Fund is a nonprofit that is active across the thr- the three states that have changed their laws to enable a legal psychedelic therapy program, so that's Oregon, Colorado, and New Mexico.
11:28
And really our goal as an organization, broadly speaking, is to support safe access to psychedelic healing for those who can benefit.
11:36
And we see the state access models as the primary pathway right now to expand access, especially to people who aren't, you know, psychonauts, who don't have a lot of experience but are starting to learn about the potential mental health or health effects that they could experience working in a structured setting with psychedelics.
11:56
Um, but, you know, might not feel comfortable or supported to take that stepOtherwise, um, so these licensed models in these three states, Oregon and Colorado are live, and then New Mexico is coming online within the next year or so, um, are the place where we're seeing at scale people being able to access, um, within a licensed framework, um, with, you know, training and accountability for the facilitators, testing of the medicine itself.
12:21
Um, and our role as an a- organization is really all of the advocacy around that.
