MAPS (multidisciplinary association of psychedelic studies) is systematically demonstrating the positive effects of psychedelics.
Their most impressive work is in PTSD. In Phase 2 trials, they took people with established PTSD (for years) and undertook ~3 guided psychotherapy sessions with MDMA. Within 2 months, 53% no longer met criteria for PTSD and at 12 months 68% didn't.
Far more efficacious that anything else we have. Powerful tool for psychologic healing.

Psychedelics work at changing the mind and they work astonishingly well, provided their consumption accompanies skilled counseling. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-019-05249-5 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-019-05249-5
