Why are not pharmaceutical companies pushing synthetic psychedelics then? The whole {P,T}IHKAL is full of them, it surely isn't a large problem to cook up another variant to patent.
- anythingnonidin 9y agoGood question. My guess at first pass is that {P,T}IHKAL has explored the easy search space? But, I'm not very certain here. Also, the Usona Institute had a job posting for a psychedelic chemist doing just that earlier this year. They are the group supporting the psilocybin phase 3 trials.
