| Interest to be Exempted | I am a family physician in private practice (Canopy Family Care). I currently provide medical and mental health care, including ketamine assisted psychotherapy and substance use treatment. I expect to provide psychedelic assisted therapy, once legal. I also sub-lease office space to therapists who provide ketamine assisted therapy (Takoma Care Space). I expect to sub-lease office space for therapists to provide psychedelic therapy, which will likely include for substance use, once legal. |

| Appointee | Joseph S Nichols |
| Explaination | I serve on the board of directors of a professional association of licensed health care practitioners that provide ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Many of these professionals will likely provide psychedelic assisted therapy, once legal. I hope that this affiliation will be allowed because the task force in question is not a licensing or regulatory board and instead has only an advisory function. If not, I am prepared to resign from the PATH Board of Directors in order to serve on the Task Force. |
