Psychedelic Policy & Research Exploration
GLOW Idaho is committed to evidence-based policymaking rooted in Idaho’s values, needs, and public health priorities. As part of our ongoing work, we've partnered with two of Idaho’s most respected research institutions—the Idaho Policy Institute and Boise State University’s School of Public Service—to produce locally grounded, nonpartisan research that explores how our state might approach the emerging national conversation around psilocybin-assisted therapy.
These homegrown studies are designed to inform thoughtful dialogue, future legislative consideration, and long-term mental health strategy.
