Hello! Thanks for carrying out this AMA. You mentioned that 19 therapists have been given a section 56 exemption to work with psilocybin themselves. Two questions:
1) How did these therapists convince the Health Minister's office that this was necessary (considering the general misconception among legislators that you don't need to know how a drug works in order to effectively administer it)?
2) Were these therapists taking part in formalized training? Or are they simply permitted to use these substances on their own time, as they please, with little to no government oversight?
