About
The Psychedelic Medicine Coalition (PMC) was founded by Melissa Lavasani after she led the Initiative 81 campaign that decriminalized entheogenic plants in Washington, DC. PMC works at the federal level for psychedelic medicine access, policy reform, and research advocacy. Its DC base places it directly in the federal policy landscape.
Why It Matters
Most U.S. psychedelic policy work is municipal or state-level. PMC is one of the few organizations operating at federal scale, where most actual access barriers are still located.
