In this powerful episode of Psychedelics Today, we sit down with the team behind Natural Medicine Alaska to discuss their groundbreaking efforts to bring psychedelic reform to the state. With some of the highest rates of depression, suicide, and substance use disorders in the nation, Alaska stands at a pivotal moment in the movement for mental health transformation.

Joe Moore speaks with Gina Randall, David Karabelnikoff, and Noria Clark to explore the origins of their movement, the importance of traditional healing protections, and their 2026 ballot initiative to decriminalize plant medicines and establish a regulated therapeutic model.

The discussion dives into:

• The personal journeys that led each guest to this work
• How Alaska’s libertarian spirit aligns with psychedelic reform
• The push to make Alaska the first state to include Ibogaine clinics in legislation
• The urgent need for veteran and first responder access to psychedelic therapy
• Fundraising and grassroots efforts to get the initiative on the ballot
• The role of Alaska’s natural landscape in healing and psychedelic integration

With national psychedelic policy at a crossroads, Alaska has the opportunity to become the North Star of this movement. Listen in to learn how you can support this critical campaign!
