And that's like the use of psychedelics in mitigating as a treatment mechanism for people.

And I just would like for the world to...

to come around and, you know, make things easier to bring relief to people because when we bring relief to individuals, we're going to bring relief to the community as a whole.

And we ought to explore a number of different things.

You know, I take the legalization of marijuana as an example.

You know, look, I live in the middle of a village where it's all there.

Everything is there from fentanyl to crack cocaine to meth, marijuana.

And I will tell you, our potheads are happy, hungry and sleepy.

And the folks that are, you know, smoking or shooting, you know, meth and crack, many of them have pretty profound problems as a result of that.

And I'd love to see...

some studies going on around the psychedelic nature to see if we can further help people through their addiction issues.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're just afraid of them.

Well, first of all, they have to be chronically homeless.

So there's a definition that we use that basically comes out of HUD.

It's an unaccompanied male or female with a disabling condition having lived on the streets at least a continuous year.

For us, they have to be in the Austin area because we're not going to take you from Dallas or Houston or Minneapolis.

Or episodically homeless.

adding up to a year over a four-year period of time.
