Which government?
Exactly. Terrible title
It’s also false. The article isn’t about LSD-25, it’s about this compound.
The active drug is LSD, it’s just needlessly compounded to be something that can be patented.
Not needlessly if the pharmacology is different between compounds. If you want an anxiety medication to go to market, you generally don’t want it to have the side effect of making white walls look like breathing Amish quilts, for example.
The publication title is fine, but the post title is not.
According to the article, it’s the US FDA.
“THE” government. You know. The only government. Because there’s only one.
According to the findings, patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder showed a 48% remission rate after receiving a single 100-milligram dose of MM120.
That’s pretty incredible that taking one dose seems to treat half the patients entirely.
It breaks pattern recognition while you’re dosed. That’s why things get all melted and move, and faces get all wonky. Our brains do a lot of background work to keep things how we expect them to be.
And lots of mental issues are just negative feedback loops.
So a single dose is enough to break some people out of their funk, and the “afterglow” the next few days sets a better pattern.
You’re telling me there literally has been one magic pill all along, and we couldn’t do anything with it because of Reagan?
As someone who took a lot of psychedelics in my college days, it isn’t quite as simple as that. I’ve had life changing trips, extremely bad trips, and trips that were just silly and fun for an evening with friends. With therapeutic treatment using psychedelics, it tends to be done in conjunction with guided therapy. But again, it isn’t going to work the same every time and it won’t always be effective.
Regardless, the CSA was/is indeed a scientific travesty. So many drugs haphazardly banned with little to no input from the medical community. The DEA made itself a quasi-legislative entity against what the CSA actually calls for. The surgeon general is supposed to tell the DEA what drugs have no medical qualities, but sometime in the last 40 years, the DEA decided it didn’t need pesky doctors telling them what drugs were bad and began classifying drugs to whatever it felt like.

I would genuinely weep for joy and relief if I could be cured of anxiety.
I’m crossing my fingers for this to become readily available. I’ve suffered from anxiety for a lifetime and it has been hugely detrimental. I’ve tried every medication available on the market, and the only ones that work have horrible side effects. This could truly change my life.
I get real squirrelly with anxiety every 5-7 years and one trip sets me right again. Fingers crossed for everyone here, wouldn’t it be great to not have to have any question about what you’re taking?
Lets fucking go
