Colorado introduced a bill this month that could quietly reshape how the US approaches ibogaine research — and it has some provisions worth paying attention to.
HB26-1325 would create up to five state-supported ibogaine research pilot sites, focused on treating addiction, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Veterans are specifically named in the bill's legislative declaration, reflecting growing interest in ibogaine as a treatment for combat-related trauma.
The provision drawing the most attention is an Indigenous benefit-sharing requirement. Any organization seeking to run a pilot site — or eventually cultivate, manufacture, or administer ibogaine in Colorado — would be required to develop a plan that benefits the communities in Central Africa who have traditionally worked with the plant.
It's an unusual and genuinely progressive requirement. Whether it has real teeth will depend entirely on how the rules get written.
We dug into the full bill — including a sourcing gap that nobody seems to be talking about yet. Read it at the link. 👇

On Tuesday December 9, CPCR Director Dr. Fred Barrett and Assistant Professor Dr. Brandon Weiss took part in a roundtable exchange among VA representatives, researchers, and veteran groups organized by the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs. The CPCR was honored to share our perspective on the potential and risks related of psychedelic therapies as a treatment for posttraumatic stress (PTS), depression, and other invisible wounds our nation's Veterans suffer. Members of the roundtable were able to share with four Senators and two Representatives over the course of the event, reflecting the attention that is now being paid to psychedelic therapeutics at the highest levels of federal government. Most inspiring was the commitment exhibited by everyone in the room to reject the complacency reflected in rising rates of su***de and PTS (many in the room had been personally affected by the deaths of friends and family members), and enact a higher standard of care for Veterans through serious investment of resources in researching the safety, effectiveness, and implementation of these innovative therapies. The CPCR, which has been studying psychedelic therapies for over two decades, will be publishing findings from its PTSD Study in 2026 and continuing to complete its ongoing Veteran-focused M**A + Psilocybin co-administration study in 2026.

Need a break during the festival? Come check out our Play & Sensory Station — a cozy retreat tucked into the Mezzanine lobby! Whether you’re looking for a moment of sensory rest or just want to spark some playful curiosity, this vibrant little corner is here for you.

I’ll have fidgets, sensory tools (because they’re not just for play — they’re powerful tools too!), and some playful surprises. It’s a small but mighty portal to wonder, inviting festival-goers of all ages to reconnect with joy, imagination, and sensory exploration.

Whether you want to squish, sparkle, breathe, or just be, this is your spot to pause, recharge, and experience the magic of play — because it’s not just fun, it’s essential.
See you there!

Bloomington dreamers, seekers, and soul-expressers —
I’m DJ Sundra, a local artist on the spectrum, channeling the raw magic of psychedelics, 90s cartoons, and Picasso into bold, childlike self-expression. My art is not about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s about play. It’s about creating from the purest parts of yourself.

Join me at the Indiana Psychedelic Fest on April 19th at the BCT, where I’ll be unveiling a hand-painted, immersive photo booth — a psychedelic portal made to capture your light just as you are.

Come feel it. Come play. Come be encapsulated.

Catch Mike Wehner at Psychedelic Fest!
I’ll be at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on April 19th slinging weird art and good vibes. Expect the usual chaos: palette knives, paint, probably a few confused dogs, and some very interactive pieces you can poke, prod, or politely whisper to.

Come say hi, get weird, and maybe take home something that looks like it crawled out of your third eye.

Honored to welcome Rick Clayton to the Indiana Psychedelic Fest, April 19th at the BCT.

A guide of thresholds and sound, Rick will open the day with two immersive, interactive music sessions designed to resonate deeply with the soul — whether in the quietude of deep meditation or the liminal space near death.

Rick is a Death Doula — a compassionate presence for those nearing the end of life — who weaves music into his practice, channeling tones and chords that align with the subtle frequencies of the human spirit in transition. He is also in the process of expanding his work to include psilocybin facilitation, deepening his capacity to hold space during profound experiences of surrender, healing, and rebirth.

Though he walks softly and keeps no official online presence, Rick’s insights live on through powerful articles and word-of-mouth wisdom. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to experience his work in person.
