Unless you look at the other psychedelic with breakthrough status - MDMA, which Rick Doblin has brought through clinical trials as a non-profit.

Doblin has no profit motive and is stoked with his $70k a year salary. His goal is changing culture, that is his motive.

MAPS’ MDMA is also commercialised by a for profit company.

As far as I know, the company is independent and not the Mozilla approach (Mozilla Foundstion owns Mozilla corporation).

A for profit company that is wholly owned by the MAPS non-profit.

I know Rick Doblin and have donated a good amount of money to MAPS.

There is no comparison between maps and compass.
