Yeah, so I've done a deep dive into MDMA and I'm excited for what's happening with it right now. I mean, you're right. I mean, 500,000 therapy sessions prior to 1984 when it was classified as a scheduled drug. And the therapists and researchers at the time were outraged. They're like, you can't take this away.
