According to the findings, patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder showed a 48% remission rate after receiving a single 100-milligram dose of MM120.
That’s pretty incredible that taking one dose seems to treat half the patients entirely.
It breaks pattern recognition while you’re dosed. That’s why things get all melted and move, and faces get all wonky. Our brains do a lot of background work to keep things how we expect them to be.
And lots of mental issues are just negative feedback loops.
So a single dose is enough to break some people out of their funk, and the “afterglow” the next few days sets a better pattern.
As someone who took a lot of psychedelics in my college days, it isn’t quite as simple as that. I’ve had life changing trips, extremely bad trips, and trips that were just silly and fun for an evening with friends. With therapeutic treatment using psychedelics, it tends to be done in conjunction with guided therapy. But again, it isn’t going to work the same every time and it won’t always be effective.
Regardless, the CSA was/is indeed a scientific travesty. So many drugs haphazardly banned with little to no input from the medical community. The DEA made itself a quasi-legislative entity against what the CSA actually calls for. The surgeon general is supposed to tell the DEA what drugs have no medical qualities, but sometime in the last 40 years, the DEA decided it didn’t need pesky doctors telling them what drugs were bad and began classifying drugs to whatever it felt like.

You’re telling me there literally has been one magic pill all along, and we couldn’t do anything with it because of Reagan?

I would genuinely weep for joy and relief if I could be cured of anxiety.
