I applaud AOC here. The benefits of psilocybin and other tryptamines, as well as entheogens like MDMA, are well-documented. As some of you may already know, LSD-25, under the named Delysid, was used in the 1950s and 1960s in psychiatry and beyond, with countless individuals talking about how the experiences changed their lives. MDMA has also been used in the treatment of PTSD, and now days, Ketamine, a dissociative hallucinogen (similar to PCP in perceived effects) that's also used in anesthesia, is used in treatments for depression.

Granted, the use of psychedelic hallucinogens and other hallucinogens is not without any risk, but that's why research into these treatments and the substances used in them is so important.

I think it's silly that the government tries to put such restrictions on research and I suppose it's the remnants of old, traditional ways of thinking that hold us back in more ways than one.

I wonder how many other advanced countries restricts basic scientific fact finding in the name of morality.

Regarding research into psychotropic drugs, 182 total.  You can sort out how many are 'advanced'.
