I struggled with IV heroin addiction for a decade and got clean, with psychedelics playing a major role. I went back to school and got a computer science bachelor’s, but realized I want to dedicate my life to helping both the psychedelic movement and others with addiction and/or mental illness. I am considering applying to med school in my 30s in the hopes of becoming a psychiatrist. Is this foolish? If so, how else can I contribute to the cause?
