I was a patient in the MDMA trials, and it seemed like a pretty catastrophic crash at the time. A lot of people had to find other jobs in the aftermath of the ruling. It is a clickbait title but also definitely reflects how a lot of people felt, myself included.

Psychedelic Therapy Crashed and Burned. MAHA Might Bring It Back Abuse allegations and infighting helped kill a campaign to legalize MDMA for medical use. Trumpworld is giving the therapy’s advocates hope for a second shot.

Psychedelic medicine, as it turns out, slots rather comfortably into the burn-it-all ethos of RFK Jr.’s movement. Could the psychedelic world’s new Trumpworld allies be the ones who finally help it achieve its goal of legalizing MDMA for medical use?
