The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
I do want to emphasize that ketamine, psilocybin, these things are still illegal. Most all places. There are some regions and cities in the United States where they are locally decriminalized, but they are not legal. They're still illegal. So what we're referring to here are indeed clinical studies in which people are taking them legally.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
yet it's the one that i probably have seen the most people use because of course it can be used legally so i found this discussion very helpful
ketamine's been a bit of a black box to me and yet it's the one that i probably have seen the most people use because of course it can be used legally
but there's not any other drugs with these kind of type of effects that can be used medically that are legal so that's right so in the united states the other psychedelics lsd psilocybin and even mdma which is not a psychedelic are schedule one which means they are not even used they have no medical use at all yeah and that's i mean it's interesting drug policy wise right because ketamine is the most likely to be abused i would say of all of those compounds but it's the one that's you know legal for medical use
