https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/09/04/hopkins-launches-psychedelic-center/ The cluster community has a special role in this type of situation. Most conditions psychedelics are believed to be helpful in treating fall under mental health which is complex and multifaceted. Cluster headaches are more of a medical "condition" and while individual impact and perception differ; somehow a medical diagnosis is more acceptable than a mental health diagnosis. Now anyone suffering from mental health issues knows that is a pile of crap at the end of the day any road that gets these substances rescheduled is a road many will benefit from. So if you get a chance to participate in a cluster headache study using psilocybin or other psychedelic take advantage of the opportunity. The pain you save may be your own and many others....

I am a big fan of clinical trials, I have taken part in 2 of them for clusters since I was lucky enough to be diagnosed including the Yale psilocybiin study. I do not do it for a cure for me but to help find a way to get one step closer to cure the future. I would like to be part of finding a cure for my children if they ever have to experience this shit storm of a life we all live.

Wow wowee wow. I’m looking forward to your talk.

@Freud Yup, will touch on important points of PF Tek, coir/verm substrate Tek, substrate pasteurization process, dub tub Tek using BRF cakes spawned to coir substrate, growing LC in karo/water via MS inoculation, and drying and storage procedures without using a dehydrator......a lot to try and cover in an hour and a half so I'll probably have to do a separate question and answer session sometime on Saturday if it can be worked in.....I'll be getting to Dallas mid morning on Weds so I can get everything prepped and set up

It is a notion worth consideration. As always we are chasing "numerators in search of denominators". Specifically as regards clusters. The moniker "Suicide headaches" was attached long before psychotropic meds were handed out like candy. Cluster headache suffers have all life's usual burdens to wrangle while dealing with lost opportunities, wrecked relationships and seething pain. Removing the drugs from the picture, the disease burden of clusters is pretty high...enough to evoke consideration of self destruction. The use of some of these meds may constitute a sort of tipping point but the jury is out on the magnitude of their contribution. In the shooters situation these folks were already predisposed to some type or another of self destructive behavior or demon which led to the intrusion of mental health "care". Unfortunately our current system is ill equipped to provide proper evaluation and treatment of so many mental health issues. Add that to the fact many resist treatment, play with their meds, add other substances of abuse to the mix and have piss poor support systems. You have a recipe for disaster. All they need to do next is practice on a first person shooter game and then go out an reek havoc on peoples lives. If you consider the extremely high proportion of individuals on these meds and the very small number of incidents coupled with confounding factors it would be hard to draw a straight line. That said if you have classic clusters (episodic or chronic) there is no need for these mind pollutants. The treatments that appear to be most effective, D3 regimen, O2 and indoleamine hallucinogens do not have these issues in an otherwise mentally well individual. Don't you owe it to yourself to try what decades of real life experience endorses?.
