THE FUTURE OF PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Psychedelic medicines are a very different class because nobody is seriously proposing that people should just be prescribed psilocybin for at-home use as we do with cannabis - at least not at significant doses. HOW PSYCHEDELIC-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS In most clinical studies with psilocybin, MDMA and other psychedelics, the medicine is used alongside talk therapy. Around the same time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted "breakthrough therapy" classification to psilocybin, the so-called "magic" compound found in psychedelic mushrooms. We expect this is going to be a rulemaking period, and then, psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy treatment for certain conditions will be legal to do by licensed clinicians in the state of Oregon only.
