Title should reflect this is in Australia
- boomboomsubban 5y agoAre foreign clinical trials meaningless for FDA approval? I only have knowledge from news stories, but I seem to recall oxycontin using sketchy foreign trials to get approval.
- jdavis703 5y agoMeh, these treatments are usually limited duration. Even if this is only ever approved in Oz folks could presumably travel abroad to seek treatment. Folks post US-only things here all the time.
- robbrown451 5y agoSure but that kind of limits its capacity to make an impact, right? Pretty much everyone experiences some degree of anxiety. Tons of people here in California, before recreational cannabis was legal, got a medical use permit simply by truthfully telling the teledoc they have anxiety and cannabis might help them with it. Nobody cared whether this anxiety crossed some arbitrary threshold into being a serious medical issue, or if it was just regular old "my life can be stressful, but it sure is nice to relax with a sweet bong hit." I doubt a single person was turned away because their anxiety wasn't considered "serious" enough, and I'm personally ok with that. I'd be happy if the same situation happened with psilocybin. That's a big difference from having to go completely across the world to seek treatment.

- pi7h3n 5y agoAnd? What's your point? Do you want to ignore non-US stuff?
- azinman2 5y agoAll I said was that the title should say approved in Australia for context on a site that is dominated by American news, politics, companies, and audience; not that it shouldn’t be posted. You’re jumping to conclusions.
