The therapy is already developed and has been being worked on since the '80s.

It's just waiting for approval. I don't understand why you're being so dense or pushing this point like it's one or the other.

They're both great in their own ways and the research for MDMA and PTSD is way ahead of psilocybin. I showed you in the article I linked above that you just completely dismissed while you continue to post irrelevant articles back.

I get that you think mushrooms are the cure all for everything but man you really don't understand the lay of the landscape here. Where it's at, where it's been, and what works within the context of Western medicine the best. For PTSD treatment.

Anyway I'm really done there's just too much projection in that last post for me to ignore.

The articles I provided to you are evidence of further ongoing trials specifically for PTSD using psilocybin, since you misread the original provided article. Follow-up and related studies are not irrelevant in therapeutic research, which you may recognize in all of your personally esteemed Molly studies.

The earlier article shows that psilocybin alleviates the PTSD symptoms you hope Molly will and provides the same benefits molly may provide eventually after clinical trials are completed.

Then you insult and make obviously incorrect assumptions about me instead of asking questions to remedy your ignorance.

You know what sam Jackson says about assumptions in the movie basic.

You're wearing blinders.

You personally like a less safe and less effective therapy. That is totally fine.

It's also very clear that it makes more sense to focus on a conclusively safe and effective therapy rather than an unsafe and less effective therapy.

I think people should do tons of drugs. That doesn't make all drugs safer or more effective in all situations.

I don't see the point of focusing on more dangerous, possibly effective future therapies when a safe, effective therapy is currently available for the same symptoms.

Pretty telling that "projection" is what's setting you off.
