Hospice and palliative care providers can benefit from understanding federal and state laws around the use of psychedelics by serious and terminally ill patients. Current regulations govern not only access to these substances, but the research into how patients could be affected. But any rules should include clear federal standards for this research as far as what is and is not allowed, according to Jennifer Moore Ballentine, CEO of the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California.

It’s been a month since my old dog Willow died, and I miss her healing presence. The house feels empty without her calm energy, but my young dog Disco grieves, too. She searches for the one who’s missing and I can’t explain the loss to her. Even though Willow was old and dying, she joined us for slow walks until a few days before her death.
