@xavierbecerra.bsky.social has fought trafficking - jut wondering about the other side of the equation. Legit practitioners are at risk, and a failing CAMTC is putting Californians at risk, too.

PAIN 20 April 2026

@massih.bsky.social et al. find that baseline circulating endocannabinoid ligand concentrations are associated with individual differences in pressure pain threshold, but not thermal thresholds/tolerance, or temporal summation of pain. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4tEJzdL

Please sponsor a bill to end the CAMTC, protect both the public and providers, give us tiered licensure and legal parity with medical peers.

Mobile is less profitable, more prone to injury, and puts us at risk. This is what we face when we are pushed out of fixed locations and into homes

Focus enforcement on traffickers. Stop taking it out on legit massage therapists by pushing us into the shadow and making us pay huge fees to cities

@buffywicks.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social

CAMTC is no longer protecting the public, either.

We need tiered licensure with relaxation and medical levels. We need to protect clients and workers. No more strip mall min wage encroachment. Laws that go after those who exploit and traffic.

Why am I referral only?

I get harassed, but the only cops that show up are UCs

Cities made it impossible to have a legal fixed location office, so I am mobile. Statistically, the most dangerous place for a woman to be is in a home

CAMTC has failed

Plz sponsor change? @scottwiener.bsky.social

You are welcome! It's hard won and a joy to share.

Testing and reagent kits can tell you part of the story - reduce risk and just say know.

This is a specific type of neuroplasticity, a critical window for socially relevant learning, that stays open for about two weeks or so with MDMA.

Being able to look at a face and see someone's soul was a glimpse into the NT world. Like, how are you managing all that emo info all day? Are YOU ok?!

Even if there isn't a huge love download or whatever your NT pals are feeling, there's a window to take the memory of dance mapped with fear, anxiety, etc and uncouple it from the dance floor you're on in the moment. Psychotherapist couches are a whole different vibe. Risk reduction and safety FTW!

OK. Ok. ok.

MDMA is in the same family as ADHD amphetamine salts, pseudoephedrine, and mescaline. You can imagine that ND folx may have different doses and reactions to MDMA!

One of the things I find it is very good at is opening a window, with the right challenge, to unmapping fear concepts.

Special interest levels of information.

What's "therapeutic?"

Flea called the mosh pit a ceremony.

Set an intention: teach me about...

Follow up: what I am learning is... what I can do with that is...

If the intention is around feeling safe in a **demonstrably safe** group, you need people!

I am the one sparing you by keeping it brief!

EPIC Psychedelic has several living documents on topics like ethics, touch, and sensory-friendly preparation for expanded states experiences!

We need tiered licensure NOW (relaxation, clinical levels) to protect practitioners and the public. Sunset the CATMC, and set up structures to protect us from violence, labor exploitation, and being consumed by chains.

@buffywicks.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

How is this happening with the ongoing Epstein files issues showing how our profession is abused and vulnerable?

Local zoning has us pushed out of safer, fixed locations and pushed into mobile only business where we are in the most statistically dangerous place for women - a home.

CAMSA" "CAMTC (California Massage Therapy Council) is processing applicants’ applications to become certified massage therapists without requiring an FBI background check" Also, is MBLEx still suspended?

Not protecting us from the public AND not protecting the public.

Killing them softly with birdsong.

Stop rolling your IT band.

The momentum of the narrow current research models, critiqued well in a previous Chalice talk, have stifled other ways of practicing leaving so much "off the table." (See what I did there?)

This includes applying the Hopkins protocol to a study for back pain and psilocybin. Why?

The Chalice: Is It Worth It? The Costs of “Mainstreaming” Psychedelics with Ismail Lourido Ali

Looking forward to seeing Ismail in person! It has been a while since he was willing to hear my business model and write it into the safety amendment of SB1012 so that providers like me would not be left out of psychedelics roll out in CA.

However, since then ... 🤬

Everybody betray him!

It's ambiguous, so it could be a fun debate in a class.

Visiting an extended indigenous family, I was accepted as a medicine carrier. I wasn't a pathology; I was a leader. All pre-colonial languages I have studied have no words for neurodiversity because it's natural and valued - no accommodation frameworks exist.

What does this look like? It is very similar to existential ideation for people with chronic pain because is chronic pain.

This is the relief people sense we get from the diagnosis, and some of them deeply resent it. There's no other clear benefit from the autism diagnosis. It doesn't come with any medication or treatment or access - not for adults. This is the only thing we get and everyone knows it.
