Good news, everyone!

"Soap company Dr. Bronner’s — a.k.a. the world’s #1 shower read — has announced its support of the therapeutic use of psilocybin, a.k.a. the psychedelic stuff in magic mushrooms. The company donated $1 million to a campaign supporting a voter initiative in Oregon that would create a framework for mental health practitioners in the state to incorporate psilocybin therapy into their practices.

David Bronner, the cosmic engagement officer for the “activist soap company,” announced the donation on Monday via a Reddit AMA, expanding on the need for it in an email to Rolling Stone. “Dr. Bronner’s is supporting The Psilocybin Therapy Initiative in Oregon (Yes on IP 34) to advance a breakthrough therapeutic model currently being perfected in research settings at top universities around the world,” he says. “My family is no stranger to severe depression and anxiety, and like many Americans, we yearn for better solutions. This therapy helps people to process difficult and traumatic emotions and experiences, break destructive patterns of thought and behavior — and to love, integrate and forgive themselves and each other. People connect to the deeper spiritual ground of their being and to the miraculous living natural world we are one with.”"
