This is super cool. I believe there's tremendous medical value to this. The other part that's exciting to me is that someone is spending 10's of Millions of dollars, or more, on studying this for it's eventual approval AND there's no money in it for big pharma. This is virtually unheard of. Usually only drugs & treatments that can turn a huge profit are invested in via studies seeking approval for use/sale. These people seem to legitimately be doing this for medicine, not money. I like that. 8)

Yeah western medicine relies too heavily on profits, even old drugs for which new uses have been discovered by researchers rarely make it into the repetiore of thr average doctor. Few exceptions like ASA 81mg as a heart/stroke preventive medicine marketed by big pharma even though the drug had long been off patent.

Another victim.of this failed system beaides MDMA are ketamine, psyclobin, and Low Dose Naltrexone.
