Reply to Pulled over in Yakima. First ever ticket: no seatbelt, car without insurance, expired tabs. What do? by GoodLittleTerrorist

Best is to get insurance and registered asap, and WA gives out one moving violation lenience per 7 years, but is up to the discretion of a judge/magistrate.

The fee is still going to be like a minimum of $150-175, if memory serves.

If you don’t get registration or insurance asap, a judge will unlikely show any leniency.

I think the Oregon proposal is two therapists. My non-psychedelic therapist bills $180 an hour, so we’ll use that. $180 x 2 = $360/hr x 6+ hour trip = $2160. Lets really shoot lowball for preparation and post integration at 2 hours each for one therapist. 4 x 180 = $720. 2160 + 720 = $2880 per session, with 2-3 sessions needed. $5760 to $8640. That’s probably very low end.

That’s not even counting the logistics, security, and dispensing of the dose to the patient. Mass commercial production really wouldn’t make financial sense unless there was some sort of novel patent on a compounded formulation, say psilocybin and a mild sedative or anti-nauseal, which would come with its own Pharma-branded price tag. Total Customer Lifetime Value is low since they’ll likely not do multiple multi-session series, so price that accordingly. $100 a session is probably insanely low, so now you’re $6000-9000 deep. Add in overhead, insurance costs, etc. We’ll lowball that too, at 10% markup… $6600 to 9900.

Build that out with a whole scheme of credentialing, training programs, state regulation burden, etc. It’s not hard to imagine the dollar signs flashing in the mind’s eye of investors to build that out, and of course, price in their risk for this emerging market.

Compare to $4 of Uncle Ben’s rice, $10 for two bricks of coco coir, a $3 plastic tub, and a $15 syringe of spores/culture. $33 will get you 2-3 flushes per tub, with enough coir and spores to run 4-5 crops to heal your entire extended family many times over.

Regulatory capture is absolutely INSANE for something you can grow in your closet, which is impossible to overdose, rapidly creates immunity/tolerance, and is anti-addictive. Absolutely batshit crazy.
