COLORADO, USA — Colorado will once again lead the way in building a new drug industry., the state is now figuring out how to build, and regulate, a new industry.involving psychedelic medications.
“While the class itself, psychedelics, hallucinogens, have been used for a very long period of time – millennia in some cases –this is the first situation where they're being approved for a medical use by trained practitioners,” said Joshua Black, senior research scientist at the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety Division of Denver Health and Hospital Authority.
, Black’s team offered suggestions for how Colorado – and other states – collect and study that data moving forward. “We want to ensure we’re collecting the right information now, so in the future we can make decisions around safety, around efficacy, around whether individuals need to change the way substances are being used to maximize the benefit, and minimize the harm,” he said. “We want to have evidence-based decisions as these substances become more available, as more people use them, and more… diseases - are being treated with them.
Whether a patient is using any other drugs at the time of treatment, or if they have any comorbiditiesIf the drug has the intendent effect, an adverse effect, or if concerning symptoms show up later – outside of an expected treatment window“The biggest thing we can learn is that rare events in small populations become much more frequent as that population gets bigger,” Black said.
