This is delightful news. I really hope in the coming decades the research of organizations like MAPS get more attention and become completely mainstream.
Making psychedelics Schedule 1 set us back decades that could have been spent doing important research on a large number of mental health conditions.
MAPS (multidisciplinary association of psychedelic studies) is systematically demonstrating the positive effects of psychedelics.
Their most impressive work is in PTSD. In Phase 2 trials, they took people with established PTSD (for years) and undertook ~3 guided psychotherapy sessions with MDMA. Within 2 months, 53% no longer met criteria for PTSD and at 12 months 68% didn't.
Far more efficacious that anything else we have. Powerful tool for psychologic healing.
