Do they want Black neighbors?'\" But Taylor advocates a different focus: on \"the financial roots to segregation, and understanding the economy that developed around segregation,\" said Taylor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was a willingness for the housing industry and the banks to shift their practice in the private sector,\" said Taylor. However, \"it was all done with the unspoken assurance that a new housing market for Black people could be built — but it had to be done so on a segregated basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked by Forum's Madrigal about the implications of utilizing a \"colorblind market approach\" to solve for lower-income housing, Taylor explained that it was \"a huge problem.\" The process of making racial discrimination in housing illegal in 1968 \"as if nothing ever happened,\" said Taylor, in fact demonstrated \"no effort to redress or repair the damage that had been done to the physical property in

to challenge this assumption that the promotion of single-family homeownership is the most important or even possible way to end the racial wealth gap,\" said Taylor, \"because it assumes that Black people owning homes has the same financial impact of white people owning homes.\" Because in reality, she notes, \"Black houses and Black-majority neighborhoods have been grossly devalued.\"[aside

It's not like we're going to move past it overnight.

My first interaction with these medicines really opened up the acknowledgment that I had suffered a lot of loss, and there was a lot of grief in there.

The war on drugs has failed. Incarcerating people for using drugs doesn't work. We need to take a health-based approach. And for psychedelics in particular, the mounting evidence of the health benefits of all of these substances is just extraordinary. People whose lives are being saved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet we have stuck with this terrible criminalization approach and say, no, you can't have your medicine, it's illegal. And if you possess your medicine, you might get arrested and go to jail. And so the bill simply decriminalizes the possession of psychedelics. It actually does not authorize doctors to prescribe. That would require a change in federal law so that the doctors wouldn't lose their prescribing privileges. But that, we hope, will happen at some point.

She served two tours of duty, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juliana Mercer:\u003c/strong> Between Iraq and Afghanistan, where I saw the traumas of war in between those two deployments, I spent five years working with our wounded in San Diego at the naval hospital, and I did everything that was non-medical for helping them in a holistic way to get back into their lives with their injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During those five years I saw the direct result of war; not just the physical trauma, but the mental trauma. And I did my job every day and did it happily because I was helping my brothers and sisters. But losing quite a few fellow Marines and other veterans to suicide between two war deployments really took a toll on me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't realize that they had taken a toll on me because I was doing my job every day. A few years after exiting the service and continuing to work with nonprofits that help veterans, I felt just this loss of purpose. Even though I was doing purposeful work, I had a loss of who my authentic self was. My first interaction with these medicines really opened up the acknowledgment that I had suffered a lot of loss, and there was a lot of grief in there. It started to help me unpack all of the grief that I had, and hadn't revisited because I was so busy doing my job and taking care of my Marines.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"science_1956693","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Mercer eventually connected with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.heroicheartsproject.org/\">Heroic Hearts Project\u003c/a>, which specializes in ayahuasca therapy with military veterans, and traveled to a retreat center in Costa Rica for treatment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were there for 10 days and we had four sessions with ayahuasca.

I think a session lasts anywhere from six to 12 hours. The ayahuasca and psychedelic medicines really opens you up.

We think to ourselves how outrageous it is that these are people who have gone to war for our country, who have sustained terrible injuries — physical and mental — serving our country, and we're making it illegal for them to get effective treatment in the U.S. and forcing them to travel to another country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I watched what was happening in Oregon and in various cities around the country as part of the movement towards drug decriminalization. The war on drugs has failed. Incarcerating people for using drugs doesn't work. We need to take a health-based approach. And for psychedelics in particular, the mounting evidence of the health benefits of all of these substances is just extraordinary. People whose lives are being saved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet we have stuck with this terrible criminalization approach and say, no, you can't have your medicine, it's illegal. And if you possess your medicine, you might get arrested and go to jail. And so the bill simply decriminalizes the possession of psychedelics. It actually does not authorize doctors to prescribe. That would require a change in federal law so that the doctors wouldn't lose their prescribing privileges. But that, we hope, will happen at some point.

A lot of people have criminal records because they were low-level drug offenses, and we want to make sure that they can clear their records and not have those convictions hanging over them, which can have implications for housing and for employment.
