@RCarhartHarris While I havent looked at the fine grain of the anti-depressant trials included, arent many of the patients in the psychedelic trials those who anti-depressent have had limited efficacy? That also seems to complicate these findings...
@jomo137@RossellSusan is leading Australia's largest psilocybin trial and several others at Swinburne University. She works boldly, humbly, and consistently. It is an honour to work with and learn from her.
@BeachPhilosophy@BenjaminRamm @jameslkent @FatherMcKennaa I wonder if this would be the case with metta/ loving kindness or cause and effect reflections which are central to the Buddhist meditative path. I feel it is the lack of cultural holding and the watered down teachings western mindfulness that are at risk here.
Does this mean that a challenging social experience on MDMA could inhibit growth more so than if you were sober? Enhanced learning can go in any direction?
How do we make it exciting to choose the right path? Patents, profits and the psychedelic paradox... can we create system change by example?

Great visioning with @RickDoblin and @shayla__love discussing a variety of models for cultural rites of initiation, regulatory frameworks for therapy and licencing of psychedelic use and other drugs.

@stephenjbright I agree, it's okay to be psychoactive, in fact, it is great. the phenomenology of psychedelic states is vital in their healing potential. However, I like the term psychoplastogen - as long as it is not used in a reductive manner.
