Part of regulatory capture and the industrial complex, why medicines like MDMA and psychedelics have been illegal for decades due to them not being patentable - and being competition that most recent research shows is far more effective and without the "side" effects of many big pharma's drugs.

For a user named ketamine_ are you really questioning the well known efficacy of few-shot therapies for treatment resistant depression and PTSD?

I'm questioning your enthusiasm because I have experience and have read the research.

It is still early days. If one can end depression with an oral medication that isn't scheduled one is better off.
