Sam Chapman: Healing Advocacy Fund
(Note: Rebecca was the primary host on this episode. Elan and Rebecca will often alternate roles.)
It was our pleasure to interview our friend and colleague, Sam Chapman, who played an instrumental role as Campaign Manager in the passage of Measure 109 (Oregon's new psilocybin therapy program). Sam is now the Executive Director of the Healing Advocacy Fund, a non-profit focused on ensuring the smooth and equitable rollout of the program. In this episode, we discussed:
Sam's origin story [2:05]
Sam's involvement with SSDP (Students for Sensible Drug Policy), medical cannabis legalization, and policymaking [8:20]
Sam's role in Measure 109 & Healing Advocacy Fund [10:55]
About Measure 109 [13:35]
Lessons from the cannabis field [21:00]
Hopes and aims for an equitable program [23:55]
The difference between legalization and decriminalization [47:15]
Message for white allies (& those who aspire to be allies) [58:40]
Elan speaks on allyship [1:01:35]
Big dreams for the future [1:09:05]
What healing means to him [1:15:45]
"We should absolutely decriminalize psilocybin and psychedelics. If you're claiming that you're doing this to end prohibition and the harms of the war on drugs, you've got to open your scope. People are not going to jail at the same rate for psychedelics as they are for other drugs. Decriminalization is simply the removal of criminal penalties for possession [Oregon's Measure 110]. Measure 109 is separate. It created its own bubble, which provides legal protection for you to provide or access psilocybin services within the legal structure. " -Sam Chapman
