Psychedelic Research is Making a Comeback

Despite never using psychedelics, I became deeply interested in the topic of therapeutic psychedelic research when I learned from close acquaintances and loved ones that psychedelics were able to help treat their own serious and debilitating issues like post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer death anxiety, and addiction to alcohol, nicotine, and opioids. In the late 60s and early 70s, psychedelic research was a booming field. But after a series of political crackdowns, it dropped off considerably. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in the potential of psychedelic drugs to treat mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. With more studies being conducted and an increasing acceptance of psychedelics’ therapeutic benefits, we may be on the cusp of a new era in psychedelic research. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at how psychedelics are being used in scientific research today and explore some of the potential applications for these powerful substances. <a href="https://medium.com/@koenigwolf/psychedelic-research-is-making-a-comeback-61a29efb1ee4">Website</a>
