"Balancing Medical Promise and Regulatory Complexity in the Psychedelics Landscape"

The "Psychedelics Capital Podcast" host Ross O'Brien from Bonaventure Equity interviews Michael Werner from Holland & Knight, discussing the regulatory landscape for psychedelics. Michael, a partner at the law firm, explains that while the FDA sees itself as a public health agency focused on ensuring safe and effective products, the DEA approaches controlled substances like psychedelics from a law enforcement perspective due to their potential dangers. He highlights that while many drugs, including psychedelics, have potential benefits, the FDA emphasizes the importance of rigorous clinical trials to establish their safety and efficacy, particularly in a landscape where recreational and unregulated use is also prevalent.
