DMT Background

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug producing effects similar to those of other psychedelics like LSD, ketamine, psilocybin and psilocin. DMT occurs naturally in many plant species and animals and has been used in religious ceremonies as a traditional spiritual medicine by indigenous people in the Amazonian basin. DMT can also be synthesised in a laboratory.

At higher doses, DMT has a rapid onset, intense psychedelic effects, and a relatively short duration of action with an estimated half-life of less than fifteen minutes. Like other hallucinogens in the tryptamine family, DMT binds to serotonin receptors to produce euphoria and psychedelic effects. Because the effects of DMT do not last very long, it has been referred to in some circles as the businessmans trip.

Named the Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman, an American clinical associate professor of psychiatry and DMT research pioneer, DMT has been shown to induce neuroplasticity in a number of key preclinical studies. DMT is believed to activate pathways involved with forming neuron connections and has been shown in studies to increase the number of dendritic spines on cortical neurons. Dendritic spines form synapses (connections) with other neurons and are a major site of molecular activity in the brain.

While Dr. Strassmans Phase 1 bolus intravenous human study identified the sub-hallucinogenic dose of DMT in humans, another preclinical animal study demonstrated this same dose level still retains the neuroplastic effect seen in higher hallucinogenic doses.

Algernon will be investigating an intravenous sub-psychedelic dose of DMT as a potential treatment for Stroke in its research and clinical studies.

Algernon has filed new provisional patents for new forms of DMT, in addition to formulation, dosage and method of use claims for ischemic stroke. The Company has also filed claims for combination therapy of DMT and constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT).

About Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Crossing the Line: The Challenges of Addressing University Faculty Free Speech – JD Supra

Posted: at 3:05 am

Political speech in the United States is generally unfettered, with historically strong legal protections. Contrast that with the broader limitations that public colleges and universities may place on the expression of non-faculty employees, especially in the workplace. Sitting somewhere in between political speech and the limitations on employee speech is the freedom of expression rights of faculty members as encompassed by academic freedom, particularly in the classroom.

Historically, the classroom has been the domain of the faculty member, providing them a pulpit to impart information and knowledge to students, often through provocative stories or language. However, a faculty members right to engage in expression that may be offensive or even provoke anger or discomfort is not without boundaries. In fact, there are multiple and often conflicting standards that address acceptable in-classroom expression.

Faculty members will frequently assert their rights to freedom of expression in their classroom under the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Declaration of Principles (1915). This Declaration was modified in 1940 to state that, Teachers are entitled to full freedom of research and in the publication of the results, and Freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject . However, this Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure (1940) further cautioned that, [teachers] should be careful not to introduce into the teaching controversial matter which has no other relation to their subject. The U.S. Supreme Court has never fully accepted the term academic freedom as defined by the AAUP as a legal right. In fact, the landmark Supreme Court decision, Sweezy v. New Hampshire (354 U.S. 263, 1957), recognizes academic freedom as a First Amendment right of the institution, not of the individual faculty member.

The legal philosophy of in loco parentis gave administrators and faculty broad latitude to act in the place of a parent. Since the courts started to shift away from in loco parentis in the 1970s, the concept of academic freedom held solely by a faculty member in the classroom has been challenged by students more frequently.

For example:

Academic freedom remains an important protection for faculty and for students. While limitations on faculty expression in the public university classroom are few, the expression may not create a hostile learning environment that is severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive; the speech or expression must be germane to the subject matter being taught, have a nexus to the course material, and advance a legitimate academic purpose.

While offensive, provocative speech in the academic setting will likely always be a challenge to institutions, they must strive to balance the rights of free speech with the schools interest in preserving a vigorous learning environment. In many cases, the institution feels compelled to react because of outcry about the speech, but the initial inclination often comes off as overreaction, at least legally.

To calibrate the appropriate response, it will often make sense to consult general counsel, or outside counsel with specific free speech expertise, such as TNG. For further reading on free speech in the higher educations setting, you may be interested in our previous blog post.

Free speech on campus: universities need to create ‘safe but critical’ spaces for debate here’s how they can do it – The Conversation UK

Posted: at 3:05 am

The issue of free speech in universities continues to plague UK campuses. Earlier this year, the government announced landmark proposals to tackle the issue, including appointing a free speech tsar and giving the Office for Students powers to sanction institutions deemed to be doing too little to promote free speech and academic freedom.

But hot-button issues from perceived transphobia to Islamophobia continue to plague university campuses and its not clear the governments plans will do much to help.

Some of the proposals replicate existing legal requirements on universities. Others, like the proposal to extend free speech requirements to student unions, would have a much bigger impact because it would prevent unions from denying platforms to people with lawful views that they dont like.

But perhaps the biggest consequence of these plans is how theyll affect the sectors reputation. Far from restoring confidence in universities, its likely this intervention will just inflame longstanding moral outrage about universities failing to be bastions of liberal democracy. As we argue in our new book, Freedom of Speech in Universities: Islam, Charities and Counter-terrorism, theres a popular binary narrative that accuses universities and students either of unfairly restricting legitimate free speech, or of giving too much freedom to extremists (particularly Muslim ones).

Indeed, according to a 2019 poll by Theos, the religion and society think tank, 52% of adults think that free speech is under threat in universities, and 29% think that Islamic extremism is common on campus. Neither assumption is accurate. According to the Office for Students, in 2017-18 only a tiny number of referrals (15) were made by English universities to Prevent, the deradicalisation programme. In the same year, out of 62,094 requests for external speakers, only 53 were rejected. High-profile incidents of student no-platforming do not reflect the huge number of speaker events which go ahead every year unimpeded.

Though free speech isnt in a major crisis on campus, that doesnt mean there arent issues that should be taken seriously. Survey evidence suggests that a significant minority of right-leaning students feel unable to express their views as freely as they would like on campus. As our research shows, there are structural factors which push universities and student unions towards being cautious.

One of those issues is the Prevent Duty, the requirement on universities to identify people at risk of radicalisation into terrorism and to report them to the authorities. Prevent relies on ordinary, untrained people to spot radicalisation. This means that many, particularly those with socially conservative views, are at risk of being wrongly labelled extremists.

A major project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, looks at free speech in relation to Islam and the experiences of Muslims on campus. Led by Alison Scott-Baumann in 2015-18, over half of the 253 students and staff (Muslim and non-Muslim) who were interviewed commented negatively about Prevent or described it as chilling free speech. Some said they needed to self-censor in order to avoid arousing false suspicion of extremism.

Charity law (which affects student unions because theyre considered charities) can also inhibit speech on campus. As student unions have been regulated by the Charity Commission since 2010, the law requires unions to ensure their activities dont risk damaging their reputations. Charity Commission guidance also requires charities, including unions, to be cautious about or even avoid hosting views that, though controversial, might fall well below the criminal threshold.

Our interviews with student union managers in 2016-17 found that some have felt forced to be wary, turning down requests for potentially controversial (though lawful) speakers in fear of breaching charity law. One manager described these charity law requirements as clipping our wings on free speech and making him risk-averse regarding speakers: I say no more than yes these days, its disappointing.

We also found that, while the Charity Commission is generally a light-touch regulator, when it has intervened it has pushed some student unions to avoid controversial speakers. The governments proposal to make student unions subject to the free speech legal requirement fails to address the fact that charity law would continue to push them in the opposite direction.

University managers need to respond to these structural issues. In terms of Prevent specifically, there should be transparent, regular dialogue with Muslim students and staff to help address any concerns about the programme. Managers should also encourage student unions to be bold and host controversial speakers if theyre requested, rather than being unnecessarily cautious.

But beyond this, universities should be far more proactive in creating opportunities for students in all disciplines to engage in rigorous debate about relevant controversial issues. Our book explains how lecturers can create a community of inquiry in the classroom a space for frank debate, where participants agree ground rules at the outset and thus take ownership of the debating process.

Finally, universities need to push back against the damaging narratives that undermine their reputation. This in part means better explaining how theyre handling free speech and difficult debate. Rather than the simplistic choice between more or less free speech, we argue there are in fact four options:

Universities should take the liberal approach by default, although it might occasionally be reasonable to use different approaches for particularly controversial topics. Either way, by using this model flexibly and transparently in conversations with event organisers, universities can explain which approach they have used and why.

Only through university-led reforms like these can we address the issues chilling speech on campus. The governments sanctions-heavy approach will achieve little apart from fostering more needless outrage.

Free Speech Pledge: Lawmakers and the Public Speak Up for Freedom of Speech – PRNewswire

Posted: at 3:05 am

WASHINGTON, March 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Independent Women's Voice (IWV) announced the launch of the Free Speech Pledge. Signed by elected officials and the American public, the Free Speech Pledge demonstrates their commitment to protecting free speech and the ability of all Americans to speak, protest, and express their opinions publicly.

Early signers of the Free Speech Pledge include Senator Mike Braun (IN) and Representatives Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Ken Buck (CO-04), Michael Burgess (TX-26), Mike Gallagher (WI-08), Nancy Mace (SC-01), Stephanie Bice (OK-05), Tom McClintock (CA-04), Victoria Spartz (IN-05) and Yvette Herrell (NM-02).

Today, freedom of speech is under attack. Efforts to stifle debate and silence dissenters are compounded by cancel culture, a dangerous movement which imposes severe social and economic sanctions on those who express insufficiently woke opinions.

The Pledge lets voters know which lawmakers are committed to using their office to defend Americans' rights to speak freely and protest peacefully, and to ensure that large platforms and services apply their rules consistently and do not engage in viewpoint discrimination against users.

"Freedom of speech must be defended," said Heather R. Higgins, CEO of Independent Women's Voice. "Today, many Americans are afraid to express their beliefs out of fear of retaliation or being 'canceled.' What is happening right now isn't about suppressing hate speech. It'sabout suppressing history, facts, and viewpoints that some self-appointed woke arbiters who are looking to be offended have decreed are damaging and hateful. That's a recipe for a society defined by fear, division, mistrust, intolerance, discrimination, and ultimately violence."

In summer 2020, Cato Institute released a study finding that 62% of Americans "strongly" or "somewhat" agree that "the political climate these days prevents me from saying things I believe because others might find them offensive." According to the study, only "very liberal" Americans feel like they are able to freely express their beliefs.

"This is not how America is supposed to function," Higgins added. "This is not the foundation of a healthy, pro-human, society in which people with different ideas and beliefs civilly debate their positions, actually listen to each other, display charity and forgiveness, and work together in search of common ground."

Letters to the Editor: Readers write in on free speech, food insecurity – Tyler Morning Telegraph

Posted: at 3:05 am

ON FREE SPEECH: A SOCIETY WITHOUT IT IS NO LONGER FREEIn response to Keith Burris commentary titled Definitely Not For Thee: The piece was well written and truthful. Just as a nation without protected borders is no longer a sovereign nation, a society without free speech is no longer free.

The First Amendment protects all speech, no matter how vulgar or offensive, but there is no constitutional protection for offense. Words do however carry responsibility, such as words spoken with clear intent to cause harm, such as screaming Fire in a crowded venue. Theres also fighting words as defined by the Supreme Court that intentionally solicit a physical response by the victim of abuse or harassment. Theres no such thing as hate speech, there is only speech and the individuals perception of certain speech.

My protected right to free speech cannot be legislated to keep your feelings from getting hurt or your perception to be offended. It says so in the Amendment; Congress (state or federal) shall make no law...

Remember, any legislation that conflicts with the Constitution is not a law, but an Edict, which comes from a King or a Dictator, neither of which represent the people of the country. The people are the Government of the United States, not the elected officials.

FOOD INSECURITY A REAL PROBLEM FOR OLDER TEXANSSo many older Texans who are eligible for SNAP benefits arent enrolled. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program has very long and difficult certification requirements, and they are just too daunting. Food insecurity for older Texans is a real problem, and it is associated with increased risks of several health problems. Eligible seniors need this help.

Three bills that have been filed in the legislature deal with this problem: SB 224, HB 701, and HB 1230. I hope our representatives will support these bills.

Crackdown of street performers at Hampton Beach could be costly to the town – Seacoastonline.com

Posted: at 3:05 am

HAMPTON The town's selectmen want to regulate street performers at Hampton Beach, even though town counsel is urging them to tread lightly as restrictions on buskers on public sidewalks could open the town up to lawsuits.

The board met with the town attorney last week, directing him along with Hampton Police Chief David Hobbs to continue to work on developing regulations for street performers that will pass legal muster.

Ocean Boulevard attracted a number of performers last summer including dance groups,clowns, guitarists, drummers and even an individual who was juggling chainsaws.

While tourists seemed to like the entertainment, nearby businesses did not, complaining about noise, that they took up too much space, and of safety issues.

Town Attorney Mark Gearreald told selectmen that the courts have ruled that buskers, like panhandlers, on public ways are protected by First Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.He said any regulation that limits those free speech rights could expose the town to civil rights lawsuits.

Im bringing this all to your attention so you can better judge whether or not the effort in developing and enforcing an ordinance is worth the potential benefit (when considering) the potential cost, said Gearreld.

Selectman Richard Sawyer, who recently retired as the towns police chief, agreedthe town should be cautious.

I did a lot of research on this and you are hard-pressed to find a case where somebody sues the government on one of these cases and they dont prevail, Sawyer said. There is a lot of liability to doing it.

Sawyer said last summer was unique in that a portion of Ocean Boulevard was closed off to traffic creating a walking mall. He said a number of street performers, like the YAK hip hop dance crew, came to Hampton because places like Faneuil Hall in Boston were shut down due to the COVID pandemic.

Prior to COVID, we didnt have a big issue with street performers, Sawyer said.

With the boulevard open this summer to traffic, Sawyer said he doesnt expect to see the same number of entertainers at the beach as last summer. And if they do return, they would be more likely to set up on the east side sidewalk on Ocean Boulevard, which is on state parks property.

State Parks and Recreation Director Phil Bryce told selectmen two weeks ago they are working on a plan to deal with buskers at the Hampton Beach State Park. He said they intend to require buskers to get a permit to perform and the only place they will be allowed is on the Seashell Stage.

As for the west side sidewalk on Ocean Boulevard, Gearreald said that is also owned by the state but under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Transportation.

Selectman Regina Barnes said if traffic is open on Ocean Boulevard, then all the pedestrian traffic will be on the sidewalks.

There is not going to be any room for these people to set up, Barnes said.

Sawyer said there are state laws on the books already that could help the town in addressing buskers this summer, including the one that says you cant block a sidewalk.

But Selectmen Chuck Rage, Jim Waddell and Rusty Bridle said they still want to see something specific to street performers.

I think we want to control it, said Waddell. I think we really have to take action. Most likely they wont come, but what if they do? Lets make sure we've got something in place."

Rage said there was already a busker down at the beach a couple of weeks ago, banging drums.He said he hears about it every day from business owners who want the board to do something.

Bridle said he would like to see Hampton follow suit with Portsmouth and Concord, which have regulations for street performers.

The city of Portsmouth has guidelines for street performers, including that they do not obstruct sidewalks or use amplification or drums. The Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce limits busking to two hours in one location during set times, Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Bridle said he doesnt see prohibiting street performers from using amplification or drums as a First Amendment issue.

Until you are in U.S. District Court and you lose, Sawyer said. Nobody looked at the preachers like that.

Sawyer was referring to when the town was sued in 2009 by two Christian preachers, who were arrested by Hampton police on disorderly conduct charges for being too loud in singing He Set Me Free using a handmade, paper megaphone during a concert at the Seashell Stage.

The town ended up settling the federal lawsuit. As part of the agreement, the preachers were allowed to preach from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and allowed to use amplification if it did not exceed 85 decibels from a distance of 65 feet.

Gearreald said whatever the town adopts relating to buskers will be subject to legal challenge.

Waddell said he doesnt understand why the town can force businesses to get a permit for entertainment but cant do the same for people who want to perform in the streets.

Were saying to those people, You run a business, you have to come get a permit for outside entertainment, but you can go on the street and do whatever you want to and youre not supposed to charge, but you can take donations, Waddell said. Its not logical.

Sawyer didnt disagree.

Im saying the reality is we have to be very careful what we take on in this area because were going to wind up paying out a lot of money in lawyers and settlements, Sawyer said.

Selectmen agreed to have Gearreald and Hobbs explore more options over the next month and revisit the issue in April.

Town Manager Jamie Sullivan told selectmen they will explore it further, but it comes down to whether the board wants to delve into an issue that could cause a risk or liability to the town or not.

As we have seen in our recent discussion of tests employed by the U.S. Supreme Court to determine the parameters of speech afforded protection under the First Amendment, the great dilemma confronting our nation occurs when speech appears to incite serious, unlawful conduct.

Heres the problem, in a nutshell. It is a fundamental premise of democracy that citizens should be able to express their political views, particularly criticisms of governmental acts. Yet, society also has the right to protect itself from the commission of crimes. Criminal conduct, as we know, is punishable under law. But what about speech that encourages or incites people to break the law? At that point, speech assumes the form of conduct. Is that constitutionally protected speech?

In Schenck v. United States (1919), Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes introduced the Clear and Present Danger Test and held for the Supreme Court that Schencks flyers, which encouraged people to resist the draft in World War I, were not protected by the First Amendment. Congress, Holmes wrote, has the constitutional power to provide for the common defense, which entails authority to enact both selective service laws and bans on the use of the postal system to undermine the draft. Schencks speech was not protected by the First Amendment since it intended to bring about the substantive evils that Congress has the right to prevent.

This standard, as applied by the court over the next 50 years, meant that Congress, as well as state legislatures, could pass laws that suppressed virtually any speech that might be said to pose a Clear and Present Danger. The test made the protection of speech dependent on judicial findings of whether a clear and present danger existed. Judges committed to judicial self-restraint, deferred to the legislatures and, as a consequence, the scope of protection afforded to dissident or radical speech was quite narrow. For roughly half a century, the court ignored the brilliant dissenting opinions of Holmes and Brandeis, who tried to persuade their colleagues that the danger test should incorporate an element of immediacy, so that advocacy by itself shouldnt be suppressed or punished, unless there was no time for speech to counteract speech, as Brandeis expressed it in Whitney v. California (1927) in a concurring opinion that read like a dissent.

Without the element of imminent danger, speech that rankled the majority could be suppressed and punished. Justice Brandeis Whitney opinion finally found support in 1969, when the Supreme Court embraced the requirement of imminence to suppress speech and set forth a new standard for speech protection, one that governs to this today.

In Brandenburg v. Ohio, the court announced that constitutional guarantees of free speech do not permit a state to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.

The court thus exiled the Clear and Present Danger Test and provided about as much protection for subversive speech as we are likely to see, unless the justices become absolutists and permit no limitation or regulation of speech. Such a gravity-defying leap is unfathomable in a constitutional system in which all rights, like all powers, are subject to some degree of regulation.

Constitutional protection for subversive speech provides comfort so long as the speech is expressed on a street corner and there is little likelihood that the speech will incite widespread violence or rebellion. But when speech is intended to incite violence against institutions of government, for example, whether expressed by an ordinary citizen, a senator or a president, then the question of the degree of protection granted to such a speaker becomes much more complicated.

When Justice Holmes wrote his famous dissent in Abrams v. United States (1919), and reminded Americans that time had upset many fighting faiths, he sought protection for dissident and radical speech because the good sense of the citizenry and its commitment to democracy would ultimately win out. He would be vindicated by the historic demise of communism, and the triumph of democracy over the forces of fascism, in World War II. But what happens if and when Americans forsake the premises, promises, values and principles of constitutional democracy, and all that it entails and protects? What happens to freedom of speech if and when Americas fighting faith in democracy has been abandoned?
