Psilocybin.
Let them use psilocybin, which more effectively treats the same symptoms of PTSD for a longer time with simpler therapy schedules and no physiological risks or side effects, and let the researchers pursue MDMA as long as they want until they can figure out an effective therapy that isn't dangerous.
Psilocybin is not more effective for treating PTSD.
It's great for anxiety depression, those are not PTSD.
And you and I have had this conversation before but you are still spouting the same nonsense.
Both are needed. And you are minimizing what the FDA is doing here and how it will hurt people with PTSD.
There's no reason to use a second solution to the exact same symptoms that a safe, simple and effectively solution already resolves.
You can choose your own therapy, but it's silly to tell people not to take the available, simpler, more effective proven solution in hopes that in the future a different solution will be available that might be as effective as psilocybin already is for these symptoms.
There is absolutely reason to pursue second, third, and fourth solutions to medical problems. There is 0 reason to assume that if treatment A is effective in 70% of patients and treatment B is effective in 70% that it's the same 70%.
Braindead take.
I agree, especially if the 70% is a hypothetical future therapy that isn't ready to be applied yet.
Use the thing that already works while you try to develop a different therapy.
Helping people now with psilocybin doesn't mean you can't do research into molly and other methods simultaneously.
