I ask Karina what brought her to psychedelics in terms of developing a legal practice.
How she’s developing a practice that builds ESG, ethics and creating best practice in the world of psychedelics whether it be the corporate sector the public service or non profit sector.
How to create the values of this new area with the pressures of other forces?
As the psychedelics wave moves into new states what does the conversation look and like as discussions open about decriminalization and legalization for therapy.
Are the unspoken rules and ethics of the 70 year “underground” applicable to the new world of regulated psychedelics and treatment.
