Just saw a psychedelic conference post saying it was "the most important research in human history." The egos in psychedelic research are next level. I used to hear this stuff all the time at Hopkins, about this research saving the human species. I've been doing psychedelic research for 22 years and I don't even do the most important research in my own family!! (my wife does research informing how to save babies deprived of oxygen during childbirth).

I've been spoon-feeding some journalists info., sending documents etc & they don't want to believe anything I send & don't even want to do cursory reading. Of course, some are horrified & are investigating. But you'd be surprised by the no. who don't wanna glance let alone dig

@NeseLSD: "I have no optimism about the direction of psychedelic medicalisation within a system optimised for monopolisation and profit. There is every indication that the FDA is deferring to the lobbying interests of psychedelic pharmaceutical interests.” talkingdrugs.org/fda-hearing…

FDA Hearing on Psychedelics: Concerns, But Overwhelmingly Positive - TalkingDrugs

The FDA psychedelics hearing earlier this month highlighted a lot of enthusiasm for therapeutic access - albeit focused on medical access.

“I am optimistic about the potential of decriminalisation, & of community-based, horizontal models w/out a power imbalance. In mutual aid models, individuals have agency to determine their own psychedelic practices along with their own interpretations of psychedelic experiences."

"In such models, there is less risk of cultic abuse from spiritual gurus or of being remodeled according to definitions of ‘healing’ that serve elite class interests.”

Hard not to view this ridiculous claim as extra ironic now, given the MAHA Summit’s corporate sponsors!

You're gaslighting. It is obvious @psymposia if funded by pharma to muddy waters. It is not brave journalism to take anecdotal stories from a large human study of depressed people to willfully give audience wrong narrative on the research.
