Esketamine in Space

Esketamine, sold under the brand name Spravato, is a FDA approved nasal spray that offers hope for rapid relief from difficult to treat depression and acute suicidal thinking. Part of an emerging class of psychedelic medications that can cause rapid changes in the brain, it is a game changer for many individuals who are suffering. It is much more expensive than IV Ketamine, which is a dissociative anesthetic but IV Ketamine treatments are not covered by insurance and are cost prohibitive for many people. Spravato, however, is covered by most major insurance plans. The cost of three 28mg nasal sprays (one session's worth) retails for approximately $1000 so the initial cost for the piece is approximately that In ETH. Art for this 1/1 piece, featuring three Spravato canisters headed to the Moon, is by Alex Ortiz, a NYC graffiti artist, illustrator and is in training to become a social worker.

Drug pricing is out of control, especially for brand-name drugs. As Frontier Psychiatrists, we are working with stakeholders to come up with a better solution. We will be creating Generative Generics, thousands of psychiatric medications living on the blockchain for one low price. As Apes, Penguins, Cats and Punks fill their scripts from NFT/Pharmacy, the Metaverse's first pharmacy, the brand name drugs will have no choice but to go on holiday. Hence, we present Drug Holiday! These are 1/1 pieces featuring brand name psychiatric medications in exotic locales, with starting prices to match their actual market prices. We aim to educate and reduce stigma around psychiatric medications in general and encourage your wallet to reflect the medications that have helped you get through rough waters! For Drug Holiday 25% of Initial proceeds and 50% of royalties will support a fund for low cost mental health care for our patients who need it the most.
