Of course. I agree with you. Parts of Scientific method. Tried and true. Now i wonder if my comment implied it as otherwise. Well, i did put /s and a strikethrough so it shoudnt be taken seriously. Edit: ok i get it. It sound like a redditor trope that conclude just from a headline

Ever since i watched the video i linked, I realized psychedelics may have potential as a pharmacological agent. Perhaps for some psychological indication. However as studies and trials are ongoing, its still inconclusive. Unless im not aware if any psychedelic that was approved with proper indication for therapeutic use. (Edit: there is. Ketamine)

All the findings have shown how promising it is so far though. Never consumed it. Aware of the stigma. So im interested of the outcome. It might even be among the early drugs designed by an Ai.

It depends, if you count ketamine therapy, used to treat treatment resistant depression among other disorders

You're correct actually. Totally forgot ketamine is a psychedelic when it has been an anaesthetic agent for a long time. And i wasnt aware of its drug repurpose got fda approval at 2019. So i need to get my fact corrected.

Yeah, it's very recent and I don't fault you for not knowing beforehand. Hopefully it helps pave the way for proper scientific studies on other psychedelics, and eventually scheduled according to their therapeutic benefit
