with major depressive disorder, with alcoholism, through, like, NYU addiction, which, by the way, is not new.
We were doing this research with LSD in, like, the 50s.
Were we really?
Yeah, 50s and 60s.
And then once Nixon signed it off into Prohibition era, that all went away.

There was not a scientific reason for that.
It was more politically motivated.
But... the point being that...
I'm very excited about what the future holds for psychedelic-assisted therapies.
