I'm glad that there is clinical trials for this, but here I am silently waiting for Psilocybin to be legally available.

Not sure where you live, but Oregon just legalized psilocybin. Given the path blazed (ahem) by marijuana, there's cause for optimism other states will follow.

Likewise MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is being fast tracked the FDA due to Maps.org work, due to it being non-addictive and arguably more safe than alcohol, it too could relatively soon be legal; I do have concerns the medical institutional complex may to try prevent it from becoming fully legal, as a form of gatekeeping.

Right on. I DL'd (but hardly started reading) "Tryptamine Palace" which is all about 5-MEO-DMT and yeah, here's hoping! :)
