Also, Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind. If you want a preview of the book, there’s a Netflix documentary.
You should read / watch Michael Pollan’s “How to change your mind” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt21062540/
I believe there are religious exceptions allowed. See Michael Pollan’s “How to change your mind.”

This is very unfortunate for many PTSD sufferers ( I am one of them). This therapy, at least anecdotally, was leaps and bounds better than current therapies. I hope the FDA reconsiders this decision.
p.s. for those interested in this topic I highly recommend the Netflix documentary and book "How to change your mind" by Michael Pollan
related: I highly recommend the Netflix documentary based on Michael Pollan's book "How to change your mind"[1]

> did not receive any form of study-related psychotherapy for the duration of their participation in the study
This is remarkable - IIRC previous studies (X) involved additional psychotherapy, and quite extensively.

I wish there was more support to not just decriminalize but legalize psychedelics broadly. I know there are plenty of ongoing clinical trials, but the collection of Psilocybin, LSD, Mescaline, Ibogaine is genuinely a treasure chest and probably the best thing that has happened to medicine in a long time, if not ever.
Edit: i highly recommend watching Michael Pollan's "How to change your mind" (Netflix documentary).
For some background, there is a documentary that describes the past and the current state of using hallucinogenic drugs for therapy: “How to Change your Mind” on Netflix.
I think at least some normies want that. I'm pretty much as normie as it gets and I've been watching Michael Pollan's series on Netflix How to Change Your Mind. One day I might want to try LSD, psilocybin, or MDMA (those are the episodes I've watched) but probably wouldn't until I could buy from an FDA regulated company. I don't trust dark web sources or the neighborhood guy who knows a guy.
