I said that because psychedelic therapy is an emerging treatment so you're going to get a lot of young therapists at first. There aren't enough older ones with psychedelic experience to go around. I've done psychedelic therapy with an experienced therapist at a precursor to MAPS Santa Cruz [1] and I felt the therapist got in the way. She was mostly there to keep me safe, which I didn't need. Then she projected her own experience in interpreting mine. That said, for the average person who doesn't do psychedelics (my mother for example) the therapist patient setting is the way to go. That model also provides the best path for legalization. I'm not going to complain about how it gets legalized because I understand how to compromise. My complaint is that I shouldn't have to go to a therapist to do it legally, but that's further down the road. As you said, that process has been successful for marijuana.
