Psychedelics are being seriously tested for PTSD. If they work, that is great. If not…at least we’ll know.

Trying new stuff isn’t bad.

But “running through the jungle away from monsters” is not really up my alley. To each his own.

“Work”?
some may make one symptom better while likely messing up other things or causing need for more use.
Plenty of healthful ways to help the brain body and spirit.

Ketamine is being tested. I was given it as general anesthetic for a collapsed lung. Supposedly it doesn’t depress autonomic functions like other medications do. By far the weirdest medication I’ve ever been given. I remember weird sounds and colors and feeling like I was deep underwater and had to swim to the surface before I could exist again. I woke up and for 10 minutes all I could say was “WTF was that?”
It’s some powerful stuff. And people take it recreationally!

I'm for real research without bias either financially or politically. If RFK Jr can get real research done on even off-the-wall drugs I'd approve of it. As long as the researchers' data collection techniques and the data itself is publicly available (de-identified, of course, for privacy).

If anyone is willing to make sure research is about the science first, RFK Jr is.

It’s not new and it’s nonsense.
