Mission Statement
TREAT California will provide historic funding TREAT California will create a $5B state research funding agency to provide treatments, research, education, access, and therapies using psychedelic medicines and other novel therapeutics. In providing a consistent, sustainable, funding source to build the psychedelic ecosystem, we can bring these medicines to the public in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner. Psychedelic medicines are showing great promise for treating depression, addiction, PTSD, suicide, and more. We want to fund research and provide Californians with these treatments quickly, safely, and affordably. We want to give Californians the opportunity to vote YES to a funding agency dedicated to treating mental health and addiction, using psychedelic medicines and other powerful therapies. Help us gather one million signatures to radically improve mental healthcare.
