Blog Post Description

“Research on the use of psychedelics for mental health issues has been publicized quite a bit recently. Experiments in the use of psychedelics are demonstrating benefits in healing for chronic conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), addictions, end of life processes, depression, anxiety (Miller, 2017; Pollan, 2018). The use of these medicines has recently received research breakthrough status (MAPS Press Release, 2018). From a therapeutic standpoint, a lot of questions have been raised as to its veracity because people have been using these substances recreationally for centuries. Shouldn’t we have a lot of “healed” people running around the world? Well, like most things, the answer is yes and no.”
