The once villainized compounds as MDMA and psilocybin are finally being discussed among physicians, patients , and groups as MAPS and the Beckley Foundation. In 2020 a German analysis ranked the risk of harmful drugs. The top ranking harmful drugs were methamphetamine, heroin alcohol and cocaine as the most harmful drugs. As you can see that MDMA ( ecstasy) and psilocybin aren’t even on the list. These once recreational drugs are now being used for depression.
Psilocybin has been granted breakthrough therapy status twice in the USA - both in 2018 and 2019 for the treatment of depressive disorders. There are many cities voting to decriminalize these drugs. In 2021 Oregon voted to decriminalize these recreational drugs in small quantities.
There is even a trial using MDMA - assisted psychotherapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A similar trial has been approved in Israel
There needs to more of these trials. WE all need to be more open-minded
