 Clinical Trial with Psilocybin in Los Angeles

Hello,
Part of my role as a study coordinator for the Cancer Anxiety Trial with Psilocybin at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles is finding participants who have advanced cancer and want to try this novel approach with a psychedelic.
The FDA has approved treatment for twelve people in this phase of the study, and we have room for one more. Recruitment has been slow because most oncologists are far too conservative to refer their patients to us. Word of mouth has been our best option. I've posted to all of the usual cancer sites, but I thought you might have some suggestions for spreading the word in this forum.
For more general information about the study, you can consut: www.canceranxietystudy.org , and I've attached a flyer. (Please be aware that participation requires two 1-night stays at a hospital in LA about three weeks apart. We make the room as inviting and condusive to a good journey as possible!)
Thank you for any leads or suggestions you can provide.
Kind Regards,
Alicia Danforth
Study Coordinator

its to bad that it takes something as horrible as cancer to open peoples eyes to the magic of mushrooms.on a side note,I would love to get paid by the government to grow shrooms
--------------------
"There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there it is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me."

what are you talking about? cancer is awesome, it allows you to touch a few grams of shrooms without going to jail for life and secondly they aren't paying anyone to grow shrooms.

I think its hillarious that this got approved, yet you can't get a trial going w/ marijuana preperations (even ones approved elsewhere)

You people joking abou cancer have no fucking clue how bad, terrible, and painful cancer is.
I would know considering I had lung cancer when I was 6 to 7 years old, and was in pain pretty much every day. So please, grow up, as I feel it is inappropriate to joke about this horrible disease...

I am deeply sorry about what happened to you and happy that you got well.
But do you think that it's possible not to transform this discussion into a drama?
This is a very interesting subject so let's focus on it!

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

I agree; no need to dramatize this. I just get pissed when ppl talk about it in a comical fashion...
Anyways, this looks to be an interesting study. It also might just open the door to more research with mushrooms

imm just wondering why it is so difficult to find someone in LA with cancer that wouldnt mind taking some shrooms?
I would understand the difficulty if it was in wyoming or something.
hell, If I had cancer, I would fly out there on my own dime just to be a part of it.

My grandfather has cancer in his bone marrow, is in almost constant pain, and has anywhere from a year to 5 years to live. But one of the things my family has learned is that humor makes it alot easier to deal with. My grandfather jokes about it more than anyone. Laughing about something painful (physically or emotionally) isn't always a bad thing. I know it's helped me through a good amount of rough spots.
But anyways, that is a pretty interesting study. I'd like to see what conclusions they come up with.

Maybe the results will help lead the way for a study involving cluster headaches.

I read about this study about 2 years ago on MAPS website. I'm so glad that it's finally happening
