Elument plans to offer psilocybin therapy as part of a psilocybin assisted therapy course.

Is Psilocybin Therapy legal in Nashville?
Use of psilocybin expanded in the United States in the 60s and 70s, especially as part of the “hippie” culture. Increased research in psilocybin occurred during this time period until ultimately the government labeled psilocybin a Schedule I drug and halted research and use. Thankfully in the past few years, research has resumed with a variety of studies. These studies are paving the way for legalization. We will offer Psilocybin Therapy at our psychedelic therapy center as soon as we are able.
