"This is just an anecdotal account, but there’s an interview with the psychedelics researcher Manoj Doss, who says that he “only know[s] one psychedelic researcher who’s never done psychedelics”, and notes (in an encouragingly self-critical way) that this is a conflict of interest." - Yeah that's a good point to be honest I think that some of the most interesting applications for psychedelics as medicine target treatments that aren't strictly mental health related. Ketamine is already approved for ischemic brain damage or stroke, like you better hope that's the first thing you get in the ambulance to prevent glutamate excitotoxicity from getting really nasty if you fall of a motorcycle or whatever - But DMT actually shows a lot of promise for recovery too, and I'm actually getting involved in a project tangent to that research right now. We're talking sub-psychedelic micordoses to build people's neurons back from brain damage, one of those things in modern medicine we're still generally hopeless about. Pretty interesting stuff!
