    Default After Six-Decade Hiatus, Experimental Psychedelic Therapy Returns to the V.A.

    The theory at the heart of the research is that compounds such as MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, and psilocybin mushrooms, when taken in a safe setting under the guidance of skilled therapists, can yield powerful insights and disrupt harmful patterns of thought and behavior.

    In the 1950s and 1960s, many scientists regarded psychedelics as a potentially revolutionary tool in the treatment of addiction and other psychiatric conditions. In one notable clinical study in 1963, patients at a Veterans Affairs clinic in Kansas took LSD to treat alcoholism.

    Anyone here, ever did an acid, mescaline/peyote or mushrooms? I worked with a Navajo woman once and she told me they use peyote for their religious ceremonies?!! I hope the psychedelics helps the Vets too?!!
