It's complex and all that. Right. But psilocybin, you can synthesize it. And of course, clinical trials, the FDA likes, they want to work with pure compounds. They're very biased toward pure compounds. You can work with natural drugs, but generally...

If you're like an investigator, like Roland Giffords, for example, at Johns Hopkins, people that started doing clinical studies, they expect you to do it with pure compounds. Psilocybin is easy to make if you're a good chemist. Albert Hoffman synthesized it in 1958. And so it sort of kept it on the radar.

And then when people were looking at it from a therapeutic point of view, psilocybin seemed a natural choice. And it has a lot of things that recommend it because it lasts about the right amount of time. It's six or seven hours. Like LSD is 12 to 18 hours depending on Mescaline is you have to take higher doses, and it lasts a long time. So it lasts about the same time. It's very non-toxic.

It's totally compatible with human metabolism. And it's a kick-ass psychedelic. I mean, depending on the dose, it can be toxic. a fairly mild experience, but still very interesting, or in a higher experience, it can be, you know, complete with visions and all that, and it can really be, you know, it can really be therapeutic, you know.
