Why the doubt? For example based on the latest studies, Psilocybin for PTSD should held reduce “crazy people on the streets.”
I don’t think drugs will “save America” either, but I think they can help some Americans suffer less.
- pelasaco 4y ago> Why the doubt? Because their are biased. They are normally people that started using recreational drugs and decided to study it. So for sure they will always just find positive aspects, without for example considering all the other possible negative social aspects. i.e from their about page (https://maps.org/about-maps/ https://maps.org/about-maps/): "Our founder, Rick Doblin, Ph.D., has his first experience with LSD, giving him a glimpse of the profound connection between heart and mind made possible by psychedelics. From that moment on, Rick dedicated his life to becoming a legal psychedelic therapist, envisioning a healthier, more sustainable and loving world." Then you can check the team https://maps.org/about-maps/our-team/ https://maps.org/about-maps/our-team/ and you will see, there are more business people than researcher in the team.. Money is their goal, not research.
- brutusborn 4y agoWhat kind of social aspects could they be missing? I would hope their methodology would include checking on patients post-treatment to see how their relationships etc. were going but I must admit I haven’t read one of their papers in a while.
