Strategies 64’s Weed Wonks podcast was cited in Marijuana Moment’s coverage of a U.S. senator’s positive comments about psychedelics policy reform in Colorado.
Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) is touting the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, calling it “timely and appropriate” that states like Colorado are taking the lead on reforming laws around the substances after making history with marijuana legalization.
The article goes on to discuss Colorado’s efforts to implement the Natural Medicine Program, citing comments made by the state’s top cannabis and psychedelics regulator on a recent episode of Weed Wonks.
As with cannabis, psychedelics regulation is “going to be an iterative process,” said Dominique Mendiola, who holds split roles as the senior director of both Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) and the state’s Natural Medicine Division. Both are under the Colorado Department of Revenue.
Mendiola, who was also elected president of the Cannabis Regulators Association (CANNRA) last year, was speaking on an episode of the Weed Wonks podcast with host Jordan Wellington, a partner at the cannabis policy and public affairs firm Strategies 64.
