I get that it takes a lot of money to prove the efficacy of drugs. But there should be a better way to open some of these chemicals up and acknowledge the community that has worked hard, often at great personal and reputational risk, to demonstrate that these well-known drugs offer powerful options to treat a range of psychiatric illnesses.
Anecdotal I know, but it seems like nearly every person I know who does both are rarely if ever depressed.
While the people I've known who do struggle with depression rarely if ever leave home.
Again, I know this isn't a catch all for all cases, however, I've seen far too many people turn to meds/substances when lifestyle changes could be all that's required.
It's also a couple of things that only have positive side effects as opposed to most of the medicated approaches people take.
Looks like the paper hasn't been published yet, so there isn't really much detail, including blinding effectiveness (which is typically a problem for psychedelics).
