Freedom to heal
The Alaska Natural Medicine Act will create regulated therapeutic access to psilocybin and other natural medicines for adults 21+, while protecting traditional Native healing practices.
Alaska has the #2 highest suicide rate nationally
57% of Alaskans with mental illness receive no treatment
Alaska Native communities face barriers to traditional healing practices
Alaskans Deserve Better
FDA-Approved Research Proves Natural Medicine Works
Johns Hopkins studies with $55 million in funding show 71% of treatment-resistant depression patients responded to psilocybin therapy compared to just 30% for traditional SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Nature Medicine published research proving 67% of veterans no longer met PTSD criteria after treatment. With zero deaths recorded in medical literature, psilocybin is 1000x safer than alcohol. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation, recognizing its potential to transform mental healthcare where current treatments have failed.
Safe Access With Medical Oversight
The Alaska Natural Medicine Act creates licensed healing centers with trained facilitators and comprehensive medical supervision. Strict safety protocols include mandatory age verification for adults 21+, prohibition of public use, and full DUI enforcement. The program is completely self-funded through licensing fees with no taxpayer burden or new taxes. Oregon's successful model has already completed over 700 safe therapeutic sessions in its first year with zero serious incidents, proving regulated access works.
Protecting Traditional Medicine Rights
For thousands of years, Indigenous people worldwide have used natural plant medicines for healing and spiritual practices. Federal prohibition has criminalized these ancestral traditions, creating barriers to traditional healing in Indigenous communities. This initiative removes criminal penalties and creates the nation's first Traditional Use Council, allowing certified traditional practitioners to provide healing services with full legal protection and the ability to receive compensation for their sacred work.
Alaska's Veterans Deserve Better Treatment Options
Alaska has one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the nation, with 65,814 veterans, many grappling with PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. Traditional treatments fail too many who've served. Nature Medicine research shows 67% of veterans no longer met PTSD criteria after psilocybin therapy. Johns Hopkins studies demonstrate lasting relief where SSRIs have failed. With zero deaths in medical literature and proven efficacy, natural medicine offers science-backed hope. Our veteran advocates understand this isn't experimental, it's a promising pathway for healing that's already working in Oregon and Colorado.
