"Ethical" aka War on Drugs?

Sign me up for DMT therapy. DMT is heinously under-researched, and if they do another study with the same ethics approach to consent as the last one I read about, they will only accept those who are already experienced. :woot: Pass the ayahuasca, pleeease...

I'd be shocked if big pharma 'allows' this

Drugs to treat addiction? That's a new twist on me!

I don't think this type of treatment would be for me, but if it helps even a few, I think it's worth exploring.

@Ed Norton isn't that the truth! The effects of big pharma are widespread. I have no doubt that more natural/alternative type treatments would help many, but literature/studies on efficacy are either obscure or non-existent. Sometimes a simple element/compound can heal far better than a drug that cost millions to produce.

If Big Pharma cures the customer, the customer ceases to purchase med's.
We wouldn't want that to happen, now would we?

Big Pharma knows EXACTLY what Psychedelics can do for humans, and that is EXACTLY why they had DC force the entire world to make them illegal.

MAPS research suggests that MDMA greatly reduces PTSD symptoms with very little treatment. Big Pharma want the PTSDer to be on Psychotropic med's FOR LIFE.

They will have their way.

This too too funny, only cause I was telling my 'admin friend' on the other site how much I typed "DMT" instead of "DBT" and someone had said "ive never heard of DMT therapy" so I was searching just to see how much I typed it (which was way more than I thought) and here it is, DMT therapy. Ha!

I cant imagine that hallucinating is a good therapy for anything. Weed I can see but a hallucinogen? I dont know. Though I didnt read the acticle yet.
